15307 IUPAC Gold Book - polytriazine 10.1351/goldbook.15307 15307 current 1 Polymer composed of macromolecules containing triazine rings in the backbone: A polytriazine is usually a branched or network polymer: A polycyanurate and an amino polymer prepared from 1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triamine (trivial name: melamine) are excluded; however, these polymers can be regarded as subclasses of polytriazines. A molecule of a typical polytriazine contains 1,3,5-triazine rings, however, polytriazines containing 1,2,4-triazine rings and, less likely, 1,2,3-triazine rings are also possible. amino polymer https://goldbook.iupac.org//terms/view/15245 polycyanurate https://goldbook.iupac.org//terms/view/15277 PAC, 2009, 81, 1131.
