Abstract: Ammeline-melamine-formaldehyde resins (AMFR) containing from 5-100% ammeline were synthesized by the polymerization of the sodium salt of ammeline, which must be made in advance, melamine, and formaldehyde in basic medium (pH=9.2-10.0). In this copolymerization, it is possible to make uniform random AMFR resins with any mole ratio of ammeline salt to melamine. Preferably the AMFR resin will contain from 5-10% ammeline. As an "ionomer" or a "polyelectrolyte," both the solid and solution properties of these resins (such as melting temperature, solubility, solution stability, etc.) depended directly on the mole ratio of ammeline to melamine and formaldehyde, and/or on the pH value of the medium in which the AMFR resin was present. The pH value controlled the ammeline rings/ammeline's salt groups and also the ratio of unprotonated to protonated amino groups on both the melamine and ammeline rings.
