Talk:Polyphenylene sulfide

Remove Paragraph

This statement makes no sense: "The Federal Trade Commission definition for sulfur fiber is "A manufactured fiber in which the fiber-forming substance is a long chain synthetic polysulfide in which at least 85% of the sulfide (—S—) linkages are attached directly to two (2) aromatic rings." ". Poly(p-phenylene sulfide) is not a polysulfide, it is a polymer with sulfide linkages R-(SR)n. A polysulfide is a group of chemicals containing sulfur-sulfur linkages R-(S)n-R. For example, RSSSR would be a polysulfide, specifically a trisulfide. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.96.7.15 (talk) 14:27, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

Proposed move of this article

We have two overlapping articles: Sulfar (with a redirect from Polyphenylene sulfide) and the more conventional name Poly(p-phenylene sulfide). The Sulfar article probably was born as link-spam, but it has most of the content. Here’s the proposal, which may require administrative assistance.

1) move the content from Sulfar to Poly(p-phenylene sulfide)

2) convert Sulfar into a redirect

3) re-redirect Polyphenylene sulfide to [[Poly(p-phenylene sulfide)].

Comments or critiques are welcome. --Smokefoot 19:59, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

This page is the result of a merger

... of articles called "Sulfar" (see comment copied from Talk:Sulfar) and the present title. I announced plans to make this move some time ago and got no feedback, so it is apparently noncontroversial (or unimportant).--Smokefoot 21:37, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

uses

Someone knowledgeable may add a properties/Uses section?. I´ve come across this material while checking documentation about a ORP probe, and I´d like to know why it´s used in this application.--Xareu bs (talk) 13:10, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Testori Sulfar Fiber

I know the company called Testori. They do not make PPS fibers. I will go ahead and edit the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lciani (talk • contribs) 21:28, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

Physical properties

It would be nice to know the thermal conductivity value for this material. DouglasHeld (talk) 20:59, 10 February 2018 (UTC)

TUSQ

I wonder if the high end guitar nuts sold under the "TUSQ" and "NuBone" brandnames aren't made from PPS. Some nuts certainly exhibit a very similar sound as a part molded from Celanese Fortron when dropped on a hard surface. --BjKa (talk) 14:44, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
