Copolymers of polyparabanic acids and polyamide-imides

摘要

Random copolymers of polyparabanic acids and polyamide-imides are described. The copolymers are highly useful engineering thermoplastics which, unlike the corresponding polyparabanic acid homopolymers, are readily moldable by compression molding and like techniques. The copolymers are readily prepared by the one-shot reaction of bis(alkoxyoxalyl)amides of aliphatic, araliphatic or aromatic diamines, with organic diisocyanates and trimellitic anhydride.
