Solid state curing of poly(arylene sulfide) resins in reduced oxygen atmospheres

Virgin poly(arylene sulfide) resins are oxidatively cured by heat treatment at an elevated temperature below the melting point of the resin, under an oxidizing atmosphere comprising less than a 20 volume % oxygen concentration. The resulting polymer exhibits drastically improved thermal stability wi...

Zusammenfassung:Virgin poly(arylene sulfide) resins are oxidatively cured by heat treatment at an elevated temperature below the melting point of the resin, under an oxidizing atmosphere comprising less than a 20 volume % oxygen concentration. The resulting polymer exhibits drastically improved thermal stability with no apparent sacrifice in physical properties.
