Abstract

A process for preparing polyimide fibers involves the preparation of a polymer in p-chlorophenol from reactants comprising 2,2'-dimethyl-4,4'-diaminobiphenyl and a tetracarboxylic anhydride. Following its preparation, the polyimide fibers can be spun directly from the reaction mixture. In a preferred embodiment, the dianhydride comprises 3,3',4,4'-biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride.
