Claim 1
Independent Claim
131 words
A polyamide-polyimide polymer comprising at least one recurring group of the structure: ##STR13## wherein the moiety B is a substituted or unsubstituted tetravalent aromatic radical selected from the group consisting of a benzene nucleus, polyphenyl nuclei having up to four phenyl rings and naphthalene nuclei, n is an integer sufficient to give rise to a polymer having an inherent viscosity of at least 0.1 dl/g as measured from a solution of the polymer in dimethylacetamide at 25° C. at a polymer concentration of 0.5 weight percent, A is selected from the group consisting of SO 2 , O, S, CO, C 1 to C 6 alkyl, perfluoroalkyl or perfluoroarylalkyl having from 1 to 10 carbon atoms, and a carbon-carbon double bond directly linking the two aromatic groups, and R is hydrogen.
