POLYARYLENE SULFIDE/LIQUID CRYSTAL POLYMER ALLOY, AND COMPOSITIONS INCLUDING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide polyarylene sulfide/liquid crystal polymer alloy products with low chlorine content, the products having excellent strength characteristics.SOLUTION: The polyarylene sulfide/liquid crystal polymer alloys are formed according to a melt processing method that includes melt-processing a polyarylene sulfide with a reactively functionalized disulfide compound and a liquid crystal polymer in one or two step processes. The reactively functionalized disulfide compound is added in a stoichiometric amount to react with a portion of the polyarylene sulfide. The melt-processing forms a polyarylene sulfide/liquid crystal polymer copolymer that is a compatibilizer in the alloy.SELECTED DRAWING: None
