Independent Claim
247 words
A resin derived from (A) a dicarboxylic acid component which is an imino-dicarboxylic acid of the formula ##STR44## where Z and Z' are aromatic moieties, the indicated ##STR45## attached to Z being attached to an aromatic ring of Z, the ##STR46## linking an N to Z or Z' each being attached to an aromatic ring in Z or Z' and being present in a 5 membered imide ring and the moiety Ar being an aromatic ring, the N and COOH moieties being attached to the aromatic ring; and of a polyhydric alcohol component which is at least one of (B) a glycol component, and (C) a polyol component containing at least three esterifiable hydroxyl groups; and any further components of said resin being (D) the imide or imide-amide of (D 1 ) an aromatic diamine and (D 2 ) an aromatic tricarboxylic or aromatic tetracarboxylic acid, of the formulae, respectively, ##STR47## or the anhydrides thereof, two of the COOH groups of the acid (a) and each of the COOH groups of each of the two pairs of such groups of the acid (b) being attached to adjacent carbons of a benzene ring of the Z" and Z''' moieties, respectively, Z" and Z''' being aromatic moieties; where (A) and at least one of (B) and (C) and (D) are the sole polymer-forming components of said resin and only the components (A) and at least one of (B) and (C) are required to be present as polymer forming components.
