A series of polyester–imides was prepared from diacid (imid–diacid [ M1–M4 ] or a mixture of imide–diacid and terephthalic acid [TPA]) and bisphenol A in the presence of diphenyl chlorophosphate (DPCP) and pyridine as a direct condensation agent. The inherent viscosites of homo‐ and copolyester–imides were in the range of 0.39–0.58 dL/g. Almost all these homo‐ and copolyester–imides were completely soluble in N ‐methyl‐2‐pyrrolidone (NMP), N,N ‐dimethylacetamide (DMAC), dimethylformamide (DMF), and m ‐cresol. The thermal properties of homo‐ and copolyester–imides were examined by DSC and TGA. These copolyester–imides had glass transition temperatures in the range of 95–240°C and a 5% weight loss was observed in the range of 354–465°C. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
