History of Polyphenylene Sulfide

  • Conference paper
High Performance Polymers: Their Origin and Development

Abstract

During the last 40 years the plastics industry has experienced tremendous growth, a growth catalyzed and allowed by unprecedented technological advances. These advances have culminated in a new class of synthetic materials often referred to as “engineering thermoplastics”. This class of polymers is characterized by unusual toughness and good load-bearing capabilities. These materials have opened many new horizons for designers and have found applications in markets previously dominated by metal, wood, ceramic, glass, etc. One important member of this family of resins is polyphenylene sulfide.
