AbstractNew fluorine‐containing aromatic polyamides with inherent viscosities of 0.4–1.8 dL/g were prepared by the low temperature solution polycondensation of tetrafluoroisophthaloyl and tetrafluoroterephthaloyl chlorides withN,N′‐bis(trimethylsilyl)‐substituted aromatic diamines. The aromatic polyperfluoroisophthalamides were amorphous polymers with glass transition temperatures around 280°C, whereas the polyperfluoroterephthalamides were crystalline. Most of these aromatic polyamides were soluble in organic solvents, and began to decompose around 330°C in air or nitrogen
