Abstract

A process for preparing polybenzimidazoles is disclosed in which aromatic bis-orthoaminosulfonamides and aromatic dicarboxylic acids or derivatives thereof are polymerized in polyphosphoric acid. The process provides thermally stable heterocyclic polymers of very high molecular weight that are especially useful in forming films and fibers.
