Abstract

A shaped and drawn aromatic imide polymer article, for example, a film or filament, is produced by shaping an aromatic polyamic acid solution containing an imidizing agent in a polar organic solvent while simultaneously imidizing a portion of the aromatic polyamic acid to an extent such that the resultant self-supporting precursory article contains 20% to 87% by weight of a volatile substance and has a tensile strength of at least 1.5 kg/mm.sup.2 and an ultimate elongation of at least 30%, by drawing the precursory article at a draw ratio of 1.3 or more and by heat-treating the drawn article at a temperature of 150.degree. C. or more.
