Abstract
A polymide comprises structural units represented by the following formula: ##STR1## wherein Ar is a group consisting of 10-90 mole % of a first specific structural sub-unit and 90-10 mole % of a second particular structural sub-unit. A process for the production of the polyimide and a thermosetting resin composition comprising the polyimide and a particular polymaleimide are also disclosed.
Claims2
A thermosetting resin composition comprising:
- (A) a polyimide comprising structural units represented by the following formula (I):
- ##STR12## wherein Ar is a group consisting of:
- i) 10-90 mole % of a structural sub-unit represented by the following formula (a):
- ##STR13## wherein Z.sup.4 represents --SO.sub.2 --or --C(CH.sub.3).sub.2 --ii) 90-10 mole % of another structural sub-unit represented by the following formula (b):
- ##STR14## wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, and R.sup.4 independently represent a hydrogen atom or a C.sub.1-4 alkyl or alkoxyl group, at least two of which are independently an alkyl or alkoxyl group and X is --CH.sub.2 --, --C(CH.sub.3).sub.2 --, --O--, --SO.sub.2 --, --C(=O)--, or --CO--NH--;
- (B) a polymaleimide represented by the following formula (II):
