Two series of imide/arylene ether block copolymers were prepared using an arylene ether block and either an amorphous or semi-crystalline imide block. The resulting copolymers were characterized, and selected physical and mechanical properties were determined. These resuls, as well as comparisons with the homopolymer properties, are discussed.
