Disclosed herein are processes for the preparation of polyimide-isoindroquinazolinediones and precursor thereof. These polymers are useful as heat-resistant electric insulation materials, surface coating films for electronic instrument parts and especially suitable for manufacturing a photoresist. The above precursor is produced by reacting a an alkylenebistrimellitate dianhydride, a diaminoamide compound and the other amine. The precursor is readily dehydrated and ring-closed to produce polyimide-isoindroquinazolinedione, which is often conveniently conducted by producing a varnish of the precursor, applying it onto adequate substrates such as silicon wafers, glass plates, metal plates, etc. and then subjecting the coated film to dehydration. The resulting films have excellent physical properties such as good adherence, high tensile strength, low elasticity, etc. |
