Impure solutions or suspensions of the polyphosphazenes, e.g., those containing the reagents and/or byproducts of the chloro-substitution of a polydichlorophosphazene, are purified by contacting such impure solutions/suspension with a semipermeable membrane having a cutoff threshold corresponding to the impurities sought to be removed, and filtering such impurities therethrough, e.g., by establishing a trans-membrane pressure gradient.

Membrane purification of solutions/suspensions of polyphosphazenes

Polychlorophosphazene [Cl.sub.2 (O)P[NPCl.sub.2 ].sub.n Cl] is more rapidly produced by polycondensing N-(dichlorophosphoryl)-trichlorophosphazene [P.sub.2 NOCl.sub.5 ] in the presence of a catalytically effective amount of a tertiary amine.
