Abstract

Polyformaldehyde is prepared by feeding anhydrous formaldehyde to a reaction medium containing a liquid organic diluent non-solvent for the polyformaldehyde and non-reactive towards the other constituents of the reaction medium, and containing in a dispersed form a copolymer A-B, wherein A is a polylactonic block of recurring units ##EQU1## B is a polylactamic block of recurring units ##EQU2## wherein PM.sub.1 and PM.sub.2 are linear polymethylene chains having from 2 to 13 and 3 to 13 carbon atoms, respectively.
