Abstract
A process for the elimination of formamide from polymers containing N-vinylformamide units involves treating formamide-containing polymers with from 1 to 2 mol-equivalents of an acid or a base, based on 1 mol-equivalent of formamide, under reaction conditions such that the N-vinylformamide units in the polymer undergo virtually no hydrolysis.
