摘要:
In a process for partially curing a powdery polyarylene sulfide resin which comprises heating the powdery resin either in the absence or presence of oxygen while agitating so as to attain an increased melt viscosity in a range suitable for further processing or molding of the resin, an improvement comprising that the resin together with an added specific inorganic additive undergoes the partial curing treatment at temperatures in the range of from a temperature just below the melting point of the starting resin down to a temperature lower by 80.degree. C. than said melting point. The additive is selected from the group consisting of silica, hydrophobic silica, talc and calcium carbonate and mixtures thereof. By use of the additive, the powder characteristics or fluidity properties of the starting resin are substantially retained during and after the partial curing treatment, the static electricity generated by agitation of the resin during the treatment is significantly reduced, and the resin is effectively prevented from forming scaling on the interior walls of the reactor vessel used for the process. Therefore, the agitation of the powdery resin can be uniformly and efficiently effected so that a desired control of the melt viscosity is easily achieved.

In a process for preparing polyarylene sulfides by reacting a dihalo-aromatic compound with a sulfur source in an organic amide solvent in the presence of an alkali metal salt of carboxylic acid as a polymerization aid or assistant, a specific class of carboxylic acids are employed for preparing the alkali metal salt polymerization aid. The specific carboxylic acids are of the general formula: R(COOH).sub.n (wherein R is a C.sub.1 -C.sub.20 organic radical and n is an integer not less than 1) and have a solubility of not less than 3 g/100 ml in ethanol at 20.degree. C. Use of such a carboxylic acid in the process permits the recovery thereof from the polymerization mixture to be effected with significantly improved efficiency.
摘要:
A polyarylene sulfide having a high molecular weight is produced at low cost and without causing any pollution problems through a polymerization reaction between a dihalogenated aromatic compound and an alkali metal sulfide in an aprotic polar solvent by adding from about 0.05 to about 5 moles of calcium chloride per mole of the dihalogenated aromatic compound after the conversion of the dihalogenated aromatic compound has reached about 60 to about 98 mol % and allowing the reaction to proceed. Such a polyarylene sulfide is very useful for utilization in extrusion of films, fibers, etc.
摘要:
A highly modified polyphenylene sulfide (hereinafter refer to as "PPS") which contains covalently bonded chlorine in a far less amount than conventional PPS's and is substantially free from ionically bonded chlorine and sodium, is produced by heat-treating a conventional PPS with at least one of organic, sulfur-containing compounds in a solvent capable of dissolving the PPS. Such a PPS is very useful as a coating or encapsulating material for electrical and electronic components, etc.

A polyarylene sulfide having a high molecular weight, a high purity, excellent color tone and excellent heat stability is produced by carrying out a polymerization reaction between a dihalogenated aromatic compound and a sulfur source in an organic amide solvent and in the presence of an alkali metal salt of pyridine-carboxylic acid. Such a polyarylene sulfide is very useful for utilization in electronic components, automotive parts, etc.
摘要:
A polyarylene sulfide having a low content of heavy metals and excellent heat stability is produced by mixing an alkali metal sulfide, water, and an organic polar solvent in the molar ratio of about 1:10 to 20:1 to 10 and by heating the mixture to remove water and then polymerizing the resulting mixture with a polyhalogenated aromatic compound. Such a polyarylene sulfide is very useful for use in electronic components and automotive parts, etc.
摘要:
In a process in which a poly (arylene sulfide) is synthesized by reacting a dihaloaromatic compound and an alkali metal sulfide in a polar organic solvent, the curing ability of the product polymer is significantly enhanced by introducing a small proportion of a hydroxyl group-containing polyhaloaromatic compound to the reaction mixture when a conversion of at least 60% has been achieved with respect to the dihaloaromatic compound present in the reaction mixture. The product polymer may be advantageously employed in various molding, forming or coating processes to provide the produced articles with increased strengths. The hydroxyl groups introduced into the polymer enable the polymer to be modified, if desired.

摘要:
There are disclosed a class of halogen-ended polyalkylene glycols and halogen-ended polyolefins (II) which are copolymerizable with polyarylene sulfides or sulfone-based polymers. These halogen-ended polymers may be readily copolymerized with polyarylene sulfides or sulfone-based polymers to provide polyphenylene sulfide copolymers (I) exhibiting increased crystallization speeds. These high crystallization speeds enable the copolymers to be molded in a low-temperature mold, for example, at 100.degree. C. or less, while providing fully crystallized moldings having excellent heat resistance properties.
摘要:
A poly(phenylene sulfide) material containing predominantly para-phenylene sulfide structural units and having a melt viscosity of at least 5 poises (at 300.degree. C.) may be treated or reacted with an alkali metal sulfide and/or hydrosulfide in a polar aprotic solvent at a relatively low temperature in the range of 150.degree.-230.degree. C. so as to introduce an increased amount of reactive thiolate or thiol end groups to the polymer molecule and hence to enhance the reactivity of the polymer material. The thus modified and highly reactive poly(phenylene sulfide) material exhibits an improved compatibility with other polymers and is expected to be useful in preparation of polymer alloys of improved or modified physical and chemical properties.
