Friedel and Crafts initially studied polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) by reacting benzene with sulfur in the presence of aluminum chloride. The end product obtained through this reaction was a weak polymer with some extra sulphur linkages. Further, the scientists carried out experiments using related organosulfur compounds and diphenyl sulfide.
Polyphenylene sulfide is polymerized using a polycondensation reaction of para-dichlorobenzene and sodium sulfide or sodium hydrosulfide in a polar solvent under elevated temperatures. This polymer is created by a combination of various elements, including dehydration reaction, sodium chloride removal reaction, exothermic reaction, and high-temperature pressurization reaction. This process is very capital-intensive due to the high cost of equipment and energy consumption.
Polyphenylene sulfide is used in a wide range of end-use industries globally. Based on its application in several industries, the global polyphenylene sulfide market is segmented into applications such as electrical & electronics, automotive, industrial, filtration & filter bags, coatings, and others. Among these, filtration and filter bags accounted for a larger share of the global polyphenylene sulfide market in 2016 and are expected to boost market demand in the near future. In addition, other applications are projected to fuel market demand for polyphenylene sulfide during the forecast period.
The polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) market was valued at US$ 0.86 Bn in 2014 and is expected to reach US$ 2.0 Bn by 2022, growing at a CAGR of 13.0% during the forecast period 2016-2021.
