Abstract

A process for preparing aromatic polyesters (polyarylates) by heating a bisphenol (e.g., Bisphenol-A), at least one dicarboxylic acid (e.g., terephthalic acid and isophthalic acid) and acetic anhydride, in a carefully programmed sequence of steps, resulting in a polymer of suitable inherent viscosity and good color.
