Poly(4, 4'-diphenyl ether pyromellitamic acid) was prepared from pyromellitic anhydride with 4, 4'-diamino diphenyl ether by means of low-temperature solution polymeriztion. The reation was exothermic and very fast when carried out at room temperature. The synthesized poly(4, 4'-diphenyl ether pyromellitamic acid) was converted to poly(4, 4'-diphenyl ether pyromellitimide) by thermal dehydrocyclization. FTIR analysis was widely used as a means of determining the course of imidization from intensity of characteristic bands of the imide ring at $1790cm^{-1}$ and $1490cm^{-1}$. The density of poly(4, 4'-diphenyl ether pyromellitimide) was higher than poly(4, 4'-diphenyl ether pyromellitamic acid) indicating the greater crystallinity, perhaps because of the reduction of molar volume of polymers
