A process for preparing a polyetherimide-polyimide copolymer by (a) reacting a bis (ether anhydride) with a stoichiometric excess of an organic diamine in an inert, non-polar solvent to form an amine-terminated oligomer-solvent mixture; (b) removing unreacted organic diamine from the oligomer-solvent mixture; and (c) reacting the oligomer with an aromatic dianhydride. |
