AbstractNew polymers were synthesized by addition of epichlorohydrin to the polyamides or poly(amideimide)s derived from the polycondensation of poly(alkylenepolyamide)s with some Diels‐Alder adducts of resin acids. The adducts were prepared by the reaction between resin acids (extracted from rosin) and acrylic acid or maleic anhydride. The obtained polymers, which were investigated by usual physical and chemical methods, are three‐dimensional, thermosetting and fairly thermosta
