First Claim
Patent Images
1. A polyamic acid comprising the reaction product of an amine component and at least one tetracarboxylic dianhydride, wherein the amine component comprises a polarizable diamine and the polyamic acid is characterized by the formula ##STR21## wherein A is a trivalent organic moiety, Lf is a divalent organic radical comprising at least four fluorinated carbon atoms;
- P is a polar group comprising a Pi electron system containing at least one heteroatom selected from the group N, O and S; and
M is a tetravalent organic radical containing at least two carbon atoms, with no more than two carbonyl groups being attached to any one carbon atom of the tetravalent radical.
