Polymers containing amic acid units were produced by reacting an oligomer based on polytetramethylene oxide (PTMO) with 1,2,4,5‐benzenetetracarboxylic dianhydride (BTDA). Neutralization by a metal salt produced amic acid ionomers. Similar to other ionomer systems, neutralization from the acid to the ionomer led to the formation of a separate ionic phase as determined by dynamic mechanical analysis. Phase separation resulted in a substantial increase in mechanical properties. The effect of neutralization level, cation, soft‐segment molecular weight, and soft‐segment end group on mechanical and thermal properties was investigated. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
