Abstract
This application relates to miscible blends of biphenyl containing poly(aryl sulfones) and isopropylidene based polyimides. These blends are suitable for printed wiring board substrates, flexible printed circuit boards, electrical connectors and fabricated articles requiring heat and chemical resistance. A method for extruding these articles is taught.
Claims5
A miscible blend of a poly(aryl sulfone) and a polyimide having a single Tg when determined by the modulus-resilience method, said blend comprising:
- (a) a poly(aryl sulfone) containing the following unit:
- ##STR30## (b) a polyimide containing the following unit:
- ##STR31## wherein X.sub.4, X.sub.5 and X.sub.6 are independently --O--, --CO--, --SO.sub.2, --NHCO, --C(CH.sub.3).sub.2 --or a direct bond with the proviso that at least one of X.sub.4, X.sub.5 and X.sub.6 isopropylidene, and U, V and W are independently 0 or 1, with the proviso that at least one of U or V is 1.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
