THE polyvinylamines and their derivatives have still not been studied very much. The literature contains descriptions of a few salts and amides of polyvinylamines [1-5], copolymers of vinylalcohol with vinylamines [6] and ethylenes [7], products of the interaction of vinylamine copolymers with penicillin [8, 9] and formaldehyde [7], and of polyvinylamine with salicylic aldehyde [10]. Both theoretical and practical interest attaches to the high molecular compounds of poly-N-aryl (alkylidinevinylamine) (PAVA), which are polymeric Schiff bases. Some of them are able to undergo various different chemical conversions and form coordination polymers. Preparation of PAVA is based on reaction of aldehydes with polyvinylamines according to: O

Poly- N- benzylidenevinylamine (PBVA), poly- N- salicylidenevinylamine (PSVA) and poly-N-furfurylidinevinylamine (PFVA) are polymeric analogues of low-molecular Schiff bases. They are prepared by merging alcoholic solutions of equimoleeular amounts of polyvinylamines and the corresponding aldehydes. The experiments were performed at 65-70 ° for 1 hr, and at room temperature for 24 hr. After separation, purification and drying, the specimens were finely dispersed powders ranging from white to greenish yellow, insoluble in water but soluble in benzyl alcohol, dimethylformamide and glacial acetic acid. PBVA and PFVA were also soluble in ethyl alcohol and pyridene. Since it contains strong hydrogen intra- and intermoleeular bonds, PSVA dissolves in a small amount of the solvents. In solution in glacial acetic acid all three polymers show an anomalous tlsp./c dependence on c (Fig. 1), which is typical of polyelectrolytes and due to the Ah/h, 23

Figure 2 shows the thermomechanical curve of the penetration of the polymer specimens at a constant load of 0.57 g/ram ~, which were taken on dynamometer scales [11], and the Table gives the properties of the polymers. The specimens were prepared by compacting the powder at 180-200 ° at a pressure of 150 kg/cm ~. Comparing the curves in Fig. 2 we can see that they are similar to those for amorphous polymers.

The high-elasticity r a n g e was p r a c t i c a l l y the same for all t h e polymers, covering 120 °. B u t in P F V A , a p p a r e n t l y due t o t h e a p p e r a n c e of t h e h y d r o g e n bonds, the horizontal section of t h e curve was shorter a n d t h e m a g n i t u d e of the d e f o r m a t i o n less. A t 140 ° for instance, in t h e high elasticity range t h e def o r m a t i o n was 13~oo for P S V A , 20 ~ for P F V A a n d 26~o for P B V A . The shape of t h e t h e r m o m e c h a n i c a l p e n e t r a t i o n curves a n d their position on the t e m p e r a t u r e scale, t o g e t h e r w i t h the slope of the c u r v e where t h e y change over f r o m the glasslike t o t h e high-elasticity state, suggest t h a t t h e rigidity of t h e molecular chains increases in t h e following order: P B V A - - P F V A - - P S V A .
