Claim 1
Independent Claim
184 words
The process of preparing a modified film-forming polyamic acid which comprises reacting an aminophthalic acid 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 the aminoanhydride, of a compound having the formula Ar(CO) 2 0 2 , in which Ar represents single, fused and heterocyclic aromatic rings, said heterocyclic rings being selected from the class consisting of pyridine quinoline and quinoxaline, and a multiplicity of such rings linked to each other directly or by --O--, --S--, --CO--, --SO 2 --, --CR 2 --, --NR--, ##STR19## linkages in which R represents hydrogen or a 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.
