The kinetics of nylon-1010 polycondensation at earlier stage in an open system was studied. The melt polycondensation process in an open system was feasible since the volatibility of 1
10-decanediamine was low enough in the process.The kinetics was characterized by the pesudo-nonreversible reaction of the second order. The activation energy was measured to be 82.7 kJ8226;mol-1.It was much faster in comparison with the polycondensation of nylon-66 in a closed system.
