The present invention relates to an inherently stabilized polyamide elastomer comprising at least one bifunctional polyamide segment and at least one bifunctional soft segment. The polyamide thereby substantially forms the hard phase, and the soft segment substantially forms the soft phase of a thermoplastic elastomer. Thus, segmented block copolymers typically combine the properties of elastomers and thermoplasts, that is, they comprise elastic properties over a broad temperature range, and can be processed thermoplastically. The polyamide elastomers according to the invention are characterized in that they comprise at least one chemically bonded stabilizer increasing the heat resistance and/or light stability of the polyamide elastomer according to the invention. |
