Popis: A new insight has been obtained relating the different structures of linear aliphatic homopolyamides to their melting points. A new equation is derived for structures based on monomers with an even number of methylene units. In this equation, the amide distribution along the polymer chain is defined by a newly introduced parameter K which indicates the lowest number of methylene units between adjacent amide groups. For K ≥ 4 a generic empirical relation is defined, describing the observed melting points of these polyamides. The trend in H-bond densities in the melt obtained by modeling corresponds well with the trend in observed melting points. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2018, 135, 45837.
