Treatment of poly(arylene sulfide)

摘要

Novel poly(arylene sulfide) polymers having enhanced curing properties are produced by treating a poly(phenylene sulfide) polymer (1) at least one alkali metal sulfide; and (2) at least one N-alkyl lactam followed by the addition of (3) at least one polyhaloaromatic compound. The resulting polymers can be fabricated into shaped products having desirable properties.
