Abstract Polysulfide liquid polymers are a comparatively recent development conceived at the Thiokol Laboratories in 1943. The development was initiated by the problem of finding methods to reduce the molecular weight of a polysulfide rubber which was too tough to process on conventional rubber milling equipment. The problem was solved by reduction of a few of the disulfide links present in the polymer chain. It was soon found that the method was applicable to the preparation of polymers low enough in molecular weight to be liquids. The method produces dithiols of high purity which are extremely active in a wide variety of chemical reactions. Some formulations have been developed which depend on conversion from the liquid to rubber state at temperatures as low as 50° F in about 30 minutes. Most of the converting agents function through oxidation with hydrogen removal from the thiol and a linkage of sulfurs to reform the disulfide group. The converted polymers have the general properties of polysulfide polymers: good solvent resistance to a wide range of solvents, low diffusion rate of gases, good resistance to oxidation, ozone, and weathering, and a service temperature range from −65° to +250° F. (Some compounds can withstand intermittent temperatures as high as +350° F.) The low temperature properties are inherent in the polymer and do not depend on special compounding techniques.

Abstract The chemistry of the condensation polymerization is reviewed briefly. The structures of the polymeric products as well as the effects of copolymerization, cross-linking, end groups, and molecular weight upon polymer properties are discussed. The composition and properties of the commercial crude rubbers, water dispersions, and liquid polymers are presented together with ideas on the mechanism of their vulcanization. The reason for the odor of polysulfide polymers is discussed. Some information is presented on solvent resistance, stress relaxation, and other characteristics of the polymers. Applications for the different types of products are summarized.

The adsorption of an odour compound common in drinking water, 2-methylisoborneol (MIB), was studied on two activated carbons in the presence of 13 well-characterised natural organic matter (NOM) solutions. It was found that, although the carbons and the NOM solutions had a wide range of characteristics, the major competitive mechanism was the same in all cases. The low molecular weight NOM compounds were the most competitive, participating in a direct competition with the MIB molecule for adsorption sites. Equivalent background concentration (EBC) calculations indicated a relatively low concentration of directly competing compounds in the NOM. Some evidence of pore restriction was also seen, with microporous carbons most affected by low molecular weight NOM, and mesoporous carbons impacted by the higher molecular weight compounds.

The mechanical properties were investigated of a series of PA-PEG thermalplastic elastomer based on PA1010 and polytetramethylene glycol (PEG) with varying hard and soft segment content. Dynamic mechanical measurements of these polymers have carried out over a wide range of temperatures. The block copolymers exhibit three peaks, designated as α, β and γ in the tanδ-temperature curve. The α transition shifts to higher temperature with increasing hard block molecular weight. However, at a constant hard molecular weight, the α transition shifts to higher temperature and the damping increases on increasing the soft segment molecular weight. DMA results show that the block copolymers exhibit a microphase separation structure and both soft and hard segments were found to be crystallizable. The degree of phase separation increases with increasing hard block molecular weight.
