Synthesis of methylated phenylene sulfide polymers via bulk oxidative polymerization and their heat curing triggered by dynamic disulfide exchange

Synthesis of colorless and high-refractive-index sulfoxide-containing polymers by the oxidation of poly(phenylene sulfide) derivatives

“…Our group found that poly(phenylene sulfide) (PPS), regarded as one of the super engineering plastics with high crystallinity and thermal stability, became completely amorphous once it was derivatized with alkyl or alkoxyl side groups. [11][12][13][14][15][16][17] These PPS derivatives presented not only good solubility in organic solvents, but also high transparency and high RI, all of which were suitable for optical applications.…”
