Powdered material (p) containing poly(arylene sulfide) (pas) polymer and its use for additive manufacturing

A powdered material (M) for additive manufacturing, comprising:

• one polymeric component (P) comprising at least one poly(arylene sulfide) (PAS) polymer, comprising recurring units p, q and r according of formula (I):
• np, nq and nr are respectively the mole % of each recurring units p, q and r;
• recurring units p, q and r are arranged in blocks, in alternation or randomly;
• 2%≤(nq+nr)/(np+nq+nr)≤9%;
• nq is ≥0% and nr is ≥0%;
• j is zero or an integer varying between 1 and 4;
• R1 is selected from the group consisting of halogen atoms, C1-C12 alkyl groups, C7-C24 alkylaryl groups, C7-C24 aralkyl groups, C6-C24 arylene groups, C1-C12 alkoxy groups, and C6-C18 aryloxy groups,
• optionally one or several flow agent(s) (F),
• optionally one or several additive(s) (A) selected from the group consisting of lubricants, heat stabilizers, light stabilizers, antioxidants, pigments, processing aids, dyes, fillers, nanofillers or electromagnetic absorbers and flame retardants.

• recurring units p, q and r are arranged in blocks, in alternation or randomly;
• 2%≤(nq+nr)/(np+nq+nr)≤9%;
• nq is ≥0% and nr is ≥0%;
• j is zero or an integer varying between 1 and 4;
• R1 is selected from the group consisting of halogen atoms, C1-C12 alkyl groups, C7-C24 alkylaryl groups, C7-C24 aralkyl groups, C6-C24 arylene groups, C1-C12 alkoxy groups, and C6-C18 aryloxy groups,
• optionally in combination with one or several flow agent(s) (F) and/or one or several additives (A),
• to manufacture the powdered material (M).
