Melt-fusible copolyimides based on pyromellitic anhydride and two defined classes of aromatic diamines, at least one diamine of each class being incorporated into the polyimide, each diamine class being present in an amount of 10-90 mole percent of the total diamine content (100 mole percent), melt below about 400.degree. C. and can be fabricated into articles, or can be applied to either fibrous or nonfibrous substrates to make prepregs, tapes, etc., which then are shaped into final articles, such as printed circuit boards or aircraft panels.

Melt-fusible co-polyimide from diamine mixture

Addition terpolymers of ethylene with an .alpha.-olefin and an unsaturated, functionally substituted monomer. Addition tetrapolymers of ethylene with an .alpha.-olefin having 3-18 carbon atoms, a nonconjugated diene having only one polymerizable double bond, and an unsaturated, functionally substituted monomer. A process for preparing copolymers of ethylene with an unsaturated functionally substituted monomer, and optionally also with at least one of the following: an .alpha.-olefin having 3-18 carbon atoms and a nonconjugated diene having only one polymerizable double bond; wherein the monomers are contacted in the presence of a vanadium compound soluble in hydrocarbons and chlorinated hydrocarbons, in which vanadium is in the oxidation state of at least +3, an organoaluminum compound, and an organic compound having at least one carbon atom substituted by three halogen atoms which can be chlorine or bromine.
