Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 18
Claim 1
Independent Claim 166 words
The process of preparing a film forming polyamic acid which comprises reacting an aminophthalic anhydride of the formula H 2 NC 6 H n Y 3-n (CO) 2 O wherein Y represents a halogen selected from the group consisting of F, Br and Cl and n represents an integer having a value of 0 to 3, in an inert organic solvent in which the polymer is soluble at a temperature of about 10-100° C with 0.5 to 0.001 mole per mole of anhydride of a compound having the formula Ar(NH 2 ) 2 in which Ar represents single, fused or heterocyclic aromatic ring, said heterocyclic ring being selected from the class consisting of pyridine, quinoline and quinoxaline or a multiplicity of such rings linked to each other directly ##STR19## in which R represents hydrocarbon group containing one to twelve carbon atoms and the remaining positions in the Ar groups being occupied by hydrogen and a halogen selected from the class consisting of F, Cl and Br.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 166 words
The process of preparing a film forming polyamic acid which comprises reacting an aminophthalic anhydride of the formula H 2 NC 6 H n Y 3-n (CO) 2 O wherein Y represents a halogen selected from the group consisting of F, Br and Cl and n represents an integer having a value of 0 to 3, in an inert organic solvent in which the polymer is soluble at a temperature of about 10-100° C with 0.5 to 0.001 mole per mole of anhydride of a compound having the formula Ar(NH 2 ) 2 in which Ar represents single, fused or heterocyclic aromatic ring, said heterocyclic ring being selected from the class consisting of pyridine, quinoline and quinoxaline or a multiplicity of such rings linked to each other directly ##STR19## in which R represents hydrocarbon group containing one to twelve carbon atoms and the remaining positions in the Ar groups being occupied by hydrogen and a halogen selected from the class consisting of F, Cl and Br.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 82 words
The process of claim 1 which comprises reacting in a inert organic solvent in which the condensation product is soluble, at least five moles of an aminophthalic anhydride of the formula H 2 NC 6 H n Y 3-n (CO) 2 O, in which Y represents fluorine, bromine or chlorine, and n represents an integer having a value of 0 to 3 with one mole of said compound having the formula Ar(NH 2 ) 2 at a temperature of about 10°-100° C.

Dependent Claim 35 words
The process of claim 2 in which the ratio of 3- and 4-aminophthalic acids corresponds to the quantity obtained by the reduction of the corresponding mixture of nitrophthalic anhydrides resulting from nitration of phthalic anhydride.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 18 words
The process of claim 2 in which from about 5 to 1000 moles of aminophthalic anhydride are used.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 15 words

Claim 10
Dependent Claim 17 words
The process of claim 2 in which an N,N-dimethyl acylamide constitutes the major portion of the solvent.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 16 words

Claim 13
Dependent Claim 18 words
