New Solvent for Polyamide 66 and Its Use for Preparing a Single-Polymer Composite-Coated Fabric by Mostafa Jabbari, Mikael Skrifvars, Dan Åkesson, Mohammad J. Taherzadeh

“…In this contribution, we proposed a new solvent system for PAs by replacing a portion of the FA with urea and calcium chloride (FAUCa). Urea imparts the hydrogen bonding and calcium ion from the calcium chloride, as a Lewis acid was added to the system to compensate for the pH decrease due to the addition of urea. …”
