                         least 10 mole % of 2,2-bis(3,4-                              
                         benzenedicarboxylic anhydride)perfluoropropane               
                         [6FDA] and                                                   
                    (B) a mixture of amines made up of:                               
                         (1) a siloxane-containing diamine and                        
                         (2) an ether diamine.

          8 as highly pertinent.  Example 8 is as follows:                            
                                      Example 8                                       
                    The procedure of Example 1 was repeated except that               
               4.4 grams (0.01 mol) of 2,2-bis(3,4-benzenedicarboxylic                
               anhydride)perfluoropropane [6FDA ] and 26.5 grams (0.092                                      
               mol) of 3,3',4,4'-biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride                  
               [BPDA ] were used as the tetracarboxylic dianhydride3

               aminopropyl)tetramethyl-disiloxane and 39.0 grams (0.095               
               mol) of 2,2-bis[4-(4-aminophenoxy)-phenyl]propane [BAPP ]4               
               were used as the diamine component.  There was obtained                
               68.0 grams of a polyimide resin.
