THE PROCESS OF PRODUCING A LINEAR SUPERPOLYESTER OF AN AROMATIC DICARBOXYLIC ACID AND A DIHYDRIC PHENOL WHICH COMPRISES REACTING A MIXTURE OF REACTANTS CONSISTING ESSENTIALLY OF AN AROMATIC DICARBONYL HALIDE AND A DIHYDRIC PHENOL, WHILE THESE REACTANTS ARE DISSOLVED IN A SOLVENT SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF BENZOPHENONE, M-TERPHENYL, CHLORINATED BIPHENYL, BROMINATED BIPHENYL, CHLORINATED DIPHENYL OXIDE AND BROMINATED DIPHENYL OXIDE, AT A TEMPERATURE IN THE RANGE OF ABOUT 270* C. UP TO THE REFLUX TEMPERATURE OF THE SOLUTION UNTIL AT LEAST THE EVOLUTION OF THE HYDROGEN HALIDE SUBSTANTIALLY CEASES, BY WHICH TIME THE SUPERPOLYESTER FORMED HAS AN INTRINSIC VISCOSITY OF AT LEAST 0.5 MEASURED AT 75*C., AND ISOLATING THE SOLID POLYMER FROM THE REACTION MIXTURE.
