| Abstract: | The Mannich reaction, defined as the condensation of ammonia or a primary or secondary amine with formaldehyde and a compound containing at least one hydrogen atom of pronounced activity, was first shown to yield polymers from suitably selected reactants as early as 1946 [l]. Surprisingly, very few further attempts to utilize this interesting reaction in polymer formation have been reported in the literature. |
