Abstract
A composition comprising an intimate mixture of a polyarylene sulphide with an aryl ester of an aryl alcohol, the ester being in solid solution in the resin. The preferred mixture comprises polyphenylene sulphide and benzyl benzoate. There is also described a method of curing polyarylene sulphide in which the solid solution of the ester in the resin is formed and this is heated so that the ester evaporates and the resin cures simultaneously.
Claims6
A composition of matter is characterised in that it comprises polyarylene sulphide mixed with an aryl ester of an aryl alcohol, the ester being in solution in the resin.
A method of curing a polyarylene sulphide characterised by mixing polyarylene sulphide with an aryl ester of an aryl alcohol, whereby the polyarylene sulphide is plasticized, subsequently evaporating the ester and at least partly curing the polyarylene sulphide simultaneously to leave the polyarylene sulphide in an at least partly cured state.
A method of curing polyarylene sulphide substantially as herein specifically described in any one of Examples 1 to 5.
