Popis: Oxygen consumption, reaction products and chemiluminescence in the course of the thermooxidation of hexano-6-lactam melt in the presence of primary amines as well as thermooxidation of lactam-based polyamides with amino end-groups were studied. Amines induce the homolysis of amide hydroperoxides, primary products of the chain oxidation of lactams, and react with aldehydes originating from hydroperoxide homolysis. By condensation of amines with aldehydes, aldimines are produced together with singlet oxygen, the initiator of N-alkylamide oxidation. In polylactams prepared by hydrolytic polymerization, the carboxylic and amino end-groups are associated and their effect on polymer thermooxidation is thus suppressed.
