Abstract
A p-oxybenzoyl copolyester which is flexible and soluble in organic solvents has recurring moieties of the formulas ##STR1## wherein the carbonyl groups of (B) are meta or para to each other and the oxygen atoms of (C) are meta or para to the sulfur atom thereof. Also described are organic solvent solutions of the p-oxybenzoyl copolyesters, molded articles made thereof and flexible coatings of such copolyesters on substrates.
