Abstract

A melt processable poly(ester-amide) which is capable of forming an anisotropic melt phase is provided. A poly(ester-amide) of the present invention may have recurring units of: (a) 4-hydroxybenzoyl moiety, (b) 6-oxy-2-naphthoyl moiety, (c) 4,4'-biphenol moiety, (d) terephthaloyl moiety, and (e) an aromatic moiety capable of forming an amide linkage in the proportions indicated. Preferably, the moiety capable of forming an amide linkage is derived from p-aminophenol, p-phenylenediamine, N-acetyl-p-aminophenol, etc. The resulting poly(ester-amide) is capable of undergoing melt-processing in the temperature range of from about 300.degree. to about 400.degree. C.
