## Abstract Thermally stable copolymers with an alternating repeating structure, poly(RMI‐__alt__‐IB)s, were synthesized by radical copolymerization of N‐substituted maleimides containing a polar group with isobutene. The onset temperature of decomposition was higher than 300 °C and the glass‐trans
