Abstract
Fusible polyimide powders are prepared by the process of this invention. An amic acid amine is first prepared by treating (n+1) moles of a bis(aminophenyl)methane with n mole of aromatic tetracarboxylic anhdride to produce an aromatic amic acid prepolymer. This prepolymer is then mixed with an unsaturated carbocyclic monoanhydride and the mixture heated to form a reactive end-capped polyamic acid precursor. The resulting composition is thermally treated in order to partially imidize the precursor. The resulting fusible polyimide powder is finally separated.
