Abstract
Ultrahigh molecular weight polyoxymethylene with a weight average molecular weight over 1000000 was obtained from an aqueous formaldehyde solution. Th e molecular weight of this polymer is much higher than the reported highest molecular weight value of 46000 obtained by the condensation polymerizatio n of formaldehyde in aqueous solution.
