Study of the Influence of the Chemical Resistance of Polyphenylenesulphone from Radel on Mechanical Properties

Abstract

The paper presents the results of a study of the chemical resistance and mechanical properties of polyphenylene sulfone manufactured by Solvay, Radel brand, obtained by injection molding. Chemical resistance was investigated in short-term tests (24 hours duration), standard (7 days) and long-term (16 weeks). The mechanics of PPSU samples after exposure to chemical reagents is presented. It was revealed in what chemical environments and how much the mechanical properties of polyphenylene sulfone are preserved.
