Colorimetric study of thermal stability of sulfur-containing additives

Thermal transformations of organic compounds of divalent sulfur

“…58 Thermal decomposition of benzyl methyl sulfide and substituted 1,2-bis(benzylthio)ethanes proceeds according to the Scheme 2. 5,59 Polyethylene sulfide decomposes at 230 8C to form hydrogen sulfide, ethane and a small amount of ethanethiol. The activation energy for this reaction corresponds to the energy of a homolytic cleavage of the C7S bond in macromolecular chains of polyethylene sulfide.…”
