Abstract:
Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) is a kind of engineering plastics with excellent comprehensive performance. It’s widely used in environmental protection, automobile, electronics, petrochemical, pharmaceutical and other fields. With the application expanding of PPS, the demand of PPS is soaring around the world in recent years. The main PPS manufacturers have been setting up new production lines and increase the production capacity to cater for the situation. With the rapid development of global PPS industry, the domestic PPS industry is booming as well. In order to further increase the application value of the PPS, it’s necessary to enhance its performance and to reduce its costs. PPS modification via copolymerization and especially blending modification have been a hot area of research. The PPS blending modification technology mainly includes polymer blending, inorganic particle modification and fiber reinforcement modification. This paper briefly introduced the current state of the art of the PPS industry. Research progress on polymer blending with PPS, inorganic particle modification of PPS and fiber reinforced PPS were reviewed as well.
