Description

Commercially available poly-(1,4-phenylene sulfide) =PPS with trade names TEDUR and RYTON contain a great amount of Fe(III) (order of 1020 Fe/gram) as shown by electron spin resonance spectra. The curing of the pure and Fe-doped (0.2% Fe2O3) PPS polymers proves that Fe(III) can be used for improvement of the PPS strength by increasing the polymer cross-liking and a decrease in the polymer crystallinity degree as shown by X-ray diffraction.
