Abstract

Some properties of poly(phenylene sulphide) prepared by direct synthesis from benzene and sulphur are discussed in the light of thermal analysis, X-ray, SEM, and infrared data. Pristine poly(phenylene sulphide) is characterized by great thermal stability; it loses only 22.5% of its mass during dynamic heating to 873 K. Mass loss for iodine-doped samples increases to 41% depending on the iodine content. Doping with iodine also changes crystallinity, morphology and brings about a rise of electrical conductivity by several orders of magnitude. A conductivity of 1.45 × 10−2 S m−1 was obtained in air at room temperature for the poly(phenylene sulphide) sample containing 22.6% iodine.
