Granular material of polyimide precursor, mixture comprising the material and process for producing the material
 This invention provides (1) a granular material of a polyimide precursor, which has excellent solubility in solvents and excellent moldability and from which a polyimide molding having excellent mechanical properties can be produced, (2) a mixture of a granular material of a polyimide precursor with a solvent, in which the polyimide precursor shows excellent storage stability and (3) a process for the production of a granular material of a polyimide precursor, in which a solvent can be easily removed. Particularly provided are a polyimide precursor granular material having an intrinsic viscosity of 0.7 or higher and a polyimide precursor mixture which consists of a polyimide precursor granular polyimide having an intrinsic viscosity of 0.7 or higher and a solvent that does not exhibit a strong-mutual interaction with the polyimide precursor, as well as a process for the production of the polyimide precursor granular material. The granular material of a polyimide precursor can be obtained by allowing a tetracarboxylic dianhydride to undergo polymerization reaction with a diamine in a solvent that does not exhibit a strong mutual interaction with the polyimide precursor.
