Abstract
Abstract The intercondensation of aryldiamine and a mixture of oxydiphthalic anhydride and aromatic bis(ether anhydride), such as 2,2-bis[4-(3,4-dicarboxyphenoxy)phenyl]propane dianhydride, have been found to provide tough flexible transparent copolymer having T g 's from about 217°C to 300°C.
