Abstract
Polyoxymethylene is prepared by feeding anhydrous formaldehyde into a reaction medium containing a liquid organic diluent non-solvent for the polyoxymethylene and non-reactive towards the other constituents of the reaction medium, and containing in a dispersed form a polymer A carrying a terminal ionic couple on its macromolecular chain, said polymer A being a polylactamic block of recurring units ##STR1## wherein PM is a linear polymethylene chain having from 3 to 13 carbon atoms, and being present in a proportion of from 0.001 to 0.1% by weight with respect to the polyoxymethylene.
