Unsaturated polyamides were prepared by condensing /3(4-ethoxyphenyl) glutaconic acid with various aromatic diamines. The polycondensates were characterized by IR spectroscopy, vapor phase osmometry, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry and elemental analysis. All resins were found to decompose in the range '-210-600 °C. The kinetics of decomposition were studied. The results indicated that the resins possess reasonably good thermal stability.
