A series of novel imide/arylene ether copolymers were prepared from the reaction of an amorphous arylene ether oligomer and a semi-crystalline imide oligomer. These copolymers were thermally characterized and mechanical properties were measured. One block copolymer was end-capped and the molecular weight was controlled to provide a material that displayed good compression moldability and attractive adhesive and composite properties.
