Abstract
A method for the manufacture of a polymer is provided, the method comprising: Providing a first monomer, the first monomer comprising a bicyclic diamine moiety, a first nucleophilic group provided on a carbon atom of an aromatic moiety, and a second nucleophilic group provided on a carbon atom of an aromatic moiety; Providing a bridging compound comprising at least two sites vulnerable to nucleophilic attack; and Contacting the first monomer with the bridging compound. Polymers made by said method and uses of such polymers are also disclosed.
