Abstract
Abstract A polyimide and a process for its preparation wherein the polyimide is prepared from reaction of an organic tetracarboxylic acid or derivative thereof with a mixture of an aromatic diamine and an amine-terminated silicone. The polyimides of the invention are particularly useful in the preparation of flexible foams.

Claim 2
Dependent Claim
87 words
A polyimide foam prepared by reaction of an organic tetracarboxylic acid ester with (a) 0.1 to 15 mole % of a diamine having the formula: ##STR7## wherein R is a C 2 to C 6 alkylene group, R 1 and R 2 are each independently lower alkyl containing 1 to 3 carbon atoms and n is an integer from 1 to 4 and (b) at least one amine having the formula: H.sub.2 N--R.sub.3 --NH.sub.2 wherein R 3 is an aromatic group containing 5 to 16 carbon atoms.
