A series of novel poly(ester-amide)s containing sulfone groups in the main chain have been prepared and compared with related polymers which do not have sulfone bridges. Incorporation of sulfone moieties into the polymer backbone improved the solubility of these polymers without significant loss of their high thermal stability, and provided a large {open_quotes}window{close_quotes} between T{sub g} and decomposition temperature. Solutions of poly(sulfone-ester-amide)s in NMP have been cast into flexible films, having low dielectric constant. The synthesis and characterization of these new polymers will be presented.
