A series of new poly(1, 3, 4-oxadiazole-amide)s have been synthesized by solution polycondensation of aromatic diamines containing preformed 1, 3, 4-oxadiazole rings with phenoxyterephthalic diacid chloride or by the reaction of the same diacid chloride with p-aminobenzhydrazide resulting in a polyhydrazide-amide which was cyclodehydrated to the corresponding oxadiazolic structure. The new polymers were soluble or partially soluble in polar amidic solvents, were stable up to 375–400 °C in air and had a glass transition temperature in the range of 225–272 °C.
