Abstract
Polyarylene sulfide compositions are described as are methods of forming the polyarylene sulfide compositions. The polyarylene sulfide compositions are formed by melt processing polyarylene sulfide, a silane coupling agent and a silicone elastomer. The silane coupling agent is, e.g., an amino silane coupling agent and the silicone elastomer can be a poly(dimethyl siloxane). The compositions exhibit good strength and heat resistance characteristics and can be utilized in forming a variety of products such as pipes and houses, automotive components and electrical components.
