Poly (decamethylene terephthalamide) (PA10T) is a new type of bio-based heat-resistant nylon developed independently in China. It has excellent mechanical properties

heat resistance

wear resistance

dimensional stability

chemical corrosion resistance

hydrolysis resistance and good processability. Moreover

it has low water absorption rate and broad application prospects. It is a special engineering plastic with rapid development in recent years. The research on the modification of PA10T has always been the focus of academic and industrial circles. This article reviews the latest research progress of PA10T modification from 2015 to 2020. The preparation methods (in-situ copolymerization

melt blending

synergistic modification) and properties (crystallization

mechanics

thermal oxidative aging

flame retardancy

rheology

light transmission and comprehensive properties) of PA10T were mainly described. The research and industrial development status of PA10T were analyzed in detail

and the future development direction and potential application fields of PA10T were prospected.
