TWO-STAGE OXIDATION OF POLYARYLENE SULFIDE

Polyarylene thioethers containing recurring units of the formula [-(S-E-)a-(-SO-E-)b-(SO2-E)c-] in which E, independently of one another, are phenylene, naphthylene or biphenylene, a and c, independently of one another, have values of from 0 to less than 1, and b has a value of from greater than 0 t...

Zusammenfassung:Polyarylene thioethers containing recurring units of the formula [-(S-E-)a-(-SO-E-)b-(SO2-E)c-] in which E, independently of one another, are phenylene, naphthylene or biphenylene, a and c, independently of one another, have values of from 0 to less than 1, and b has a value of from greater than 0 to less than 1, with the proviso that the sum a + b + c is equal to 1 and at least two of the indices are greater than 0, are obtained by oxidation of polyarylene sulfides in two steps, where, in the first step, a polymer in solid form is oxidised using ozone in a suspension medium, and the resulting reaction product is reacted, in the second step, with hydrogen peroxide in acetic acid in the presence of catalytic amounts of concentrated sulfuric acid and/or with the addition of equilibrium peracids. The polyarylene thioethers are suitable for the production of high-temperature-resistant and highly chemicals-resistant mouldings.
