POLYPARAPHENYLENE SULFIDE

LDPE - low-density polyethylene, HDPE - high-density polyethylene, PP - polypropylene, PET - polyethylene terephthalate, PEEK - poly ether ether ketone, PC - polycarbonate, PPO - polyphenylene oxide, PMMA - polymethyl methacrylate, PI - polyimide, PEI - polyetherimide, PU = polyurethane, PTEE - polytetrafluoroethylene, PPS = polyparaphenylene sulfide, PES = polyethersulphone, GP - general purpose, N/A = not available. 

Independently of this objective, which will indeed have promising applications in the field of microelectronics, another line of research aims at elaborating semiconducting materials by irradiation of solid conjugated polymers. Several groups are involved in this new orientation and the first ionic implantations of various conjugated polymers have been achieved for polyacetylene [244-247], polyparaphenylene sulfide [248] and PPP [249].
