A polymer is disclosed that results from the reaction of: A. a polyimide of the formula: ##STR1## in which the symbol D represents a divalent radical selected from the class consisting of the radicals ##STR2## WHERE Y represents H, CH.sub.3 or Cl and m is 0 or 1, the symbol A represents an organic radical of valency n which may contain up to 30 carbon atoms, and n represents a number at least equal to 2; B. a polyamine of the formula (NH.sub.2).sub.p B (II) in which the symbol B represents an organic radical of valency p which may contain up to 30 carbon atoms, and p represents a number at least equal to 2; and C. a linear polyester, free from aliphatic unsaturation, and of molecular weight at least equal to 1,500, the amounts of these reactants being such that there are 1.2 to 5 imide groups per NH.sub.2 group, and the polyester represents up to 50% of the weight of the polyimide/polyamine/polyester combination. A process for making the polymer is also disclosed.

The present invention relates to new polymers with imide groups.
These polymers are characterized in that they result from the reaction of:
A. a polyimide of the formula ##STR3## in which the symbol D represents a divalent radical selected from the class consisting of the radicals ##STR4## WHERE Y represents H, CH.sub.3 or Cl and m is 0 or 1, the symbol A represents an organic radical of valency n which may contain up to 30 carbon atoms, and n represents a number at least equal to 2;
The examples which follow will still further serve to illustrate the invention:
6.5 g of polyester [P.sub.1 ] are dissolved with stirring in 14.4 g of bis-(4-aminophenyl)-methane kept at 170.degree. C.
65 g of N,N',4,4'-diphenylmethane-bis-maleimide are then introduced into the mixture, while maintaining the temperature at 170.degree. C.
