Abstract
Microwave assisted polycondensation for the synthesis of (partially) biobased polyazomethines in water (hydrothermal polymerization) was investigated for the first time in this study. The polyazomethines prepared via this environmentally friendly and simple method show comparable characteristics as the polymers prepared via traditional methods in organic solvents.
