A molding compound, comprising a thermoplastically processible, aromatic polyester imide containing monomer units corresponding to the following starting monomers: n (A) 10-70 mole % HO--Ar--COOH n (B) 0-44 mole % HOOC-Ar'--COOH n (C) 15-45 mole % HO--Ar"--OH, and n (D) 1-45 mole % of a compound having the structure ##STR1## wherein Ar, Ar' and Ar" are the same or different; and are 1,3- or 1,4-phenylene; 1,4-, 1,5-, 2,6- or 2,7-naphthylene or ##STR2## Y is --O-- or --S--; X is --O--, --S--, --SO 2 --, --CR 2 --, or --CO--; R is H, C 1 -C 4 -alkyl; and n is 0 or 1; and wherein all quantities relate to the sum of A-D, and said sum equals 100 mole %, whereby the molar ratio of (B+D): C ranges from 0.9:1 to 1.1:1. |
