<p>PRODUCTION OF p-PHENYLENE SULFIDE POLYMERS of he Disclosure A method is provided for producing a p-phenylene sulfide polymer by contacting at least one p-dihalobenzene, at least one alkali metal sulfide, at least one alkali metal carboxylate, at least one organic amide and at least one alkali metal hydroxide to form a composition at polymerization conditions. The use of an alkali metal hydroxide in addition to the other compounds used in the reaction mixture results in p-phenylene sulfide polymers of higher molecular weight than produced without the alkali metal hydroxide, as evidenced by lower melt flow of the polymer than produced by the compared methods.</p> |
