Process for production of polyamideimide resin microparticles, and polyamideimide resin microparticles

Abstract

A process for producing fine particles of polyamide-imide resin includes a dissolution step and a precipitation step wherein the dissolution step is selected from steps (a1) and (b1); (a1) polyamide-imide resin is dissolved in an organic solvent to prepare a polyamide-imide resin solution A1 having a polyamide-imide resin content of less than 5 mass %; and (b1) polyamide-imide resin is dissolved in an organic solvent to prepare a polyamide-imide resin solution B1 having a polyamide-imide resin content of less than 10 mass %, and the precipitation step is selected from (a2) the polyamide-imide resin solution A1 is added to a solvent that is virtually free from surface active agents and able to precipitate fine particles of the polyamide-imide resin to cause precipitation of fine particles of the polyamide-imide resin, and (b2) the polyamide-imide resin solution B1 is subjected to flash crystallization to cause precipitation of fine particles of the polyamide-imide resin.
