Claim Text:
1. A polyimine polymer comprising a backbone comprising monomers covalently linked through imine bonds, wherein said polymer is capable of repeating at least one cycle of transitioning between a non-malleable state and a malleable state, and between a malleable state and a non-malleable state, upon exposure to a temperature range comprising: a low temperature range that is below a transitional temperature wherein said polymer exhibits rates of covalent bond exchange reactions that impart a non-malleable state to said polymer; and a high temperature range above said transitional temperature wherein said polymer exhibits rates of covalent bond exchange reactions that impart a malleable state to said polymer, wherein said transition temperature is from about 10° C. to about 250° C., and wherein said polyimine polymer does not comprise a catalyst.
