| abstract |
The invention relates to a seeded particle of polyamide (PA) powder composed of a shell made of PA-6, PA-12 or PA-6/12 and of a core made from PA-6, paA-11, PA-12 or PA-6/12, PA 6,12, PA-6,6, PA-8 or PA-4, the core and the shell being either of identical polyamide nature but of different molecular weight, or of different polyamide nature. The particle for which the shell has a melting temperature Tf1 and a crystallization temperature Tc1 and for which the core has a melting temperature Tf2 and a crystallization temperature Tc2, is characterized in that the difference in absolute value between Tf1−Tc1 and/or between Tf1−Tc2 is greater than the difference in absolute values between the melting temperature and the crystallization temperature of a particle of powder seeded by a mineral filler and for which the shell is made of PA6, PA12 or PA6/12. |
