Reactive Blending Makes PPS Insulation Tougher Without Sacrificing Electrical Performance

Researchers improved the folding fatigue resistance of poly(phenylene sulfide) by reactively blending it with an iodine-terminated fluoroelastomer, producing a much finer phase-separated structure while retaining a high partial discharge inception voltage. The results suggest that interfacial control can help PPS withstand repeated mechanical deformation while preserving electrical insulation performance at temperatures up to 150 °C.
