Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of materials analysis and testing, and in particular to a method for determining the true molecular weight of PPS resin using gel permeation chromatography. Background Technology

[0002] A triple detector gel permeation chromatography (GPC) system is a GPC device equipped with three detectors simultaneously: differential refractive index (RI), light scattering (LS), and viscosity (VS). It can not only measure and calculate the true molecular weight of polymers at room temperature, but also measure polymer size, degree of branching, and other parameters, which is of great significance for understanding the molecular behavior of polymers in solution.

[0003] Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) is a novel high-performance thermoplastic resin with high thermal stability, chemical resistance, and excellent electrical properties, making it widely used in the electronics, automotive, machinery, and chemical industries. PPS exhibits good chemical resistance, showing excellent tolerance to most acids (such as hydrochloric acid and phosphoric acid), alkalis, esters, alcohols, aliphatic hydrocarbons, and aromatic hydrocarbons, and demonstrates good resistance to organic solvents. PPS is insoluble in any organic reagent at room temperature but can dissolve in 1-chloronaphthalene above 200°C. However, room-temperature GPC analysis cannot determine the molecular weight of PPS, significantly limiting the methods for determining its molecular weight.

[0004] Currently, high-temperature GPC can measure the molecular weight of PPS, but this method has significant drawbacks. Firstly, high-temperature GPC operates at temperatures above 200°C from the injection system to the detection system. Under these conditions, current detection systems can only be equipped with a single concentration-type detector—a differential (RI) detector. The PPS molecular weight obtained through a single RI detector is actually a conversion based on contrast technology, not the true molecular weight of PPS. Furthermore, a single differential detector cannot provide in-depth understanding of the structural characteristics of PPS, such as its molecular behavior in solution and degree of branching; multiple detectors (e.g., viscosity detectors and light scattering detectors) are required. Secondly, the mobile phase used in the detection, 1-chloronaphthalene, is highly toxic and expensive, placing high demands on the laboratory and posing unavoidable potential harm to operators. Moreover, the requirement for all modules of the GPC to operate above 200°C reduces the instrument's lifespan and increases the frequency of consumable use, especially the column. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention discloses a method for determining the true molecular weight of PPS resin using gel permeation chromatography (GPC). By converting polyphenylene sulfide, which is insoluble in chemical reagents, into soluble polyphenylene sulfone, this invention achieves for the first time the determination of the true molecular weight of PPS resin using room temperature GPC and enables multi-detection analysis of PPS using GPC.

[0006] The specific technical solution is as follows:

[0007] A method for determining the true molecular weight of PPS resin using gel permeation chromatography includes the following steps:

[0008] 1) Mix PPS resin, oxidant A, additives and 1-chloronaphthalene, and reflux at a temperature not lower than 190°C;

[0009] 2) Let the reaction solution after step 1) stand at room temperature, add organic solvent and oxidant B and reflux reaction;

[0010] The reflux reaction temperature is below the boiling point of the organic solvent;

[0011] 3) Add water to the reaction solution after step 2), let it stand and separate the liquid, take the organic phase layer in the liquid to obtain the PPS derivatized solution;

[0012] 4) Using a triple detector (GPC), with the organic solvent from step 2) as the mobile phase, the PPS derivatized solution prepared in step 3) was tested to obtain the molecular weight of the derivatized PPS, and then the true molecular weight of the PPS resin was calculated.

[0013] The preparation method disclosed in this invention involves adding different oxidizing agents in steps, resulting in a two-step oxidation reaction that transforms the Ph-S-Ph chemical bonds in PPS into Ph-SO2-Ph. This converts polyphenylene sulfide, which is insoluble in chemical reagents at room temperature, into soluble polyphenylene sulfone. The reaction equation is as follows:

[0014] .

[0015] The true molecular weight of PPS was obtained by performing GPC analysis on the derivatized PPS. This method is simple, efficient, and low-cost, and has important guiding significance for studying the reaction mechanism and modified applications of PPS.

[0016] In this method, the first oxidation reaction uses a strong inorganic oxidant, and the second oxidation reaction uses a strong organic oxidant. These two oxidation steps ensure that the Ph-S-Ph chemical bonds in PPS are completely converted to Ph-SO2-Ph. Experiments have shown that if only the first oxidation reaction is used, the molecular weight of the obtained PPS resin differs significantly from the actual molecular weight; even extending the time of the first oxidation reaction or increasing its temperature cannot change this result.

[0017] The experiment also found that the temperature of the first oxidation reaction should not be lower than 190℃ and the reaction time should not be lower than 2 hours. If the temperature is too low or the time is too short, the molecular weight of the obtained PPS resin will be significantly different from the true molecular weight.

[0018] In step 1):

[0019] Preferred:

[0020] The oxidant A is selected from one or more of sodium bismuthate, potassium dichromate, and potassium permanganate.

[0021] The auxiliary agent is selected from one or more of 4-chlorobenzenesulfonic acid, oxalic acid, and methanesulfonic acid;

[0022] In this invention, the oxidant A and the auxiliary agent have a certain compatibility. When the oxidant A is selected from sodium bismuthate, the best auxiliary agent is selected from 4-chlorobenzenesulfonic acid; when the oxidant A is selected from potassium dichromate, the best auxiliary agent is selected from oxalic acid; when the oxidant A is selected from potassium permanganate, the best auxiliary agent is selected from methanesulfonic acid.

[0023] Preferred:

[0024] The mass ratio of PPS resin to oxidant A is 1:(1.5~2.5).

[0025] The mass ratio of oxidant A to auxiliary agent is 1: (0.8~1.2).

[0026] The mass-to-volume ratio of PPS resin to 1-chloronaphthalene is 1:(180~220)g / mL.

[0027] Further optimization:

[0028] The mass ratio of PPS resin to oxidant A is 1:2;

[0029] The mass ratio of oxidant A to auxiliary agent is 1:1;

[0030] The mass-to-volume ratio of PPS resin to 1-chloronaphthalene is 1:(190~200)g / mL.

[0031] Preferably, the reaction temperature is 190~250℃ and the reaction time is not less than 2h.

[0032] Further optimization is achieved by setting the reaction temperature to 200~220℃.

[0033] In step 2):

[0034] Preferably, the oxidant B is selected from one or more of magnesium monoperoxyphthalate hexahydrate, peroxydodecanoic acid, and peroxybenzoic acid;

[0035] Experiments revealed that the organic oxidant used in the second oxidation reaction has unique properties. If it is replaced with dimethyl diethylene oxide or N-methyl morpholine, the molecular weight of the obtained PPS resin will differ significantly from the actual molecular weight.

[0036] Preferably, the organic solvent is selected from polyphenylsulfone, a nonpolar good solvent, specifically one or more of chloroform, toluene, and cyclohexane.

[0037] Preferably, the temperature difference between the reflux reaction temperature in step 2) and the boiling point of the organic solvent is approximately 10°C.

[0038] Preferred:

[0039] In step 1), the mass ratio of PPS resin to oxidant B is 1:(1.8~2.2); more preferably 1:2.

[0040] The volume ratio of the organic solvent to 1-chloronaphthalene in step 1) is (4~8):1; more preferably 5:1.

[0041] In step 4):

[0042] Preferably, the test:

[0043] The chromatographic column was selected from Plgel MIXED-B column;

[0044] The flow rate was selected from 0.8 to 1.5 mL / min;

[0045] The column temperature is selected from 25~35℃.

[0046] The specific formula for the calculation is as follows:

[0047] .

[0048] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0049] This invention discloses a method for determining the true molecular weight of PPS using gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The method involves a two-step oxidation process to convert chemically insoluble polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) into soluble polyphenylene sulfone (PPS). This is the first time that the true molecular weight of PPS resin can be obtained at room temperature using a triple detector (GPC). This testing method is simple, efficient, uses a small amount of 1-chloronaphthalene without harming the test personnel, and has low testing costs. It provides important guidance for studying the reaction mechanism and modified applications of PPS. Attached Figure Description

[0058] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below. Where specific conditions are not specified in the embodiments, conventional conditions or conditions recommended by the manufacturer shall apply. Reagents or instruments whose manufacturers are not specified are all conventional products that can be purchased commercially.

[0059] The features and performance of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments.

[0060] The PPS resin raw material used was the 3450 specification produced by Zhejiang Xinhecheng Special Materials Co., Ltd., and the PPS raw materials used in the examples were all of the same specification.

[0061] Example 1

[0062] 1.1 Accurately measure 0.0525 g of PPS resin, add 10 mL of 1-chloronaphthalene, 0.1002 g of 4-chlorobenzenesulfonic acid, and 0.1005 g of sodium bismuthate to a 100 mL flask, and reflux at 200 °C for 2 h.

[0063] 1.2 After the reaction is complete, let the reaction solution from 1.1 stand at room temperature, then add 50 mL of chloroform and 0.1002 g of magnesium monoperoxyphthalate hexahydrate (MMPP), and reflux at 50 °C for 1 h.

[0064] 1.3 Add 50 mL of aqueous solution to the reaction solution in 1.2, let it stand and separate the layers, and take the lower organic phase from the liquid.

[0065] 1.4 The organic phase was divided into two portions. 5 mL of one portion was filtered through a 0.45 μm filter membrane to obtain a PPS derivatization solution, which was then loaded onto a GPC sample for later use. The remaining organic phase was vacuum dried at 150 °C to constant weight to obtain the derivatized PPS resin.

[0066] 1.5 The PPS derivatized solution obtained in 1.4 was subjected to GPC (RI+LS+VS) triple detector testing, with polystyrene (PS) used as the calibration curve; the test conditions are as follows:

[0067] Mobile phase: chloroform;

[0068] Column: PL 10μm MIXED-B300×7.5mm;

[0069] Flow rate: 1 mL / min;

[0070] Column temperature: 30℃;

[0071] Detectors: RI+LS+VS;

[0072] Injection volume: 100 μL.

[0073] The PPS resin raw material and the derivatized PPS obtained in section 1.4 were characterized by FT-IR, and the infrared spectra were obtained as follows: Figure 1 (PPS resin) and Figure 2 (Derivatized PPS resin) is shown.

[0074] Depend on Figure 1 The FT-IR spectrum of PPS resin shows that at 3050 cm⁻¹... -1 The absorption peak is the CH stretching vibration of the benzene ring, at 1469 cm⁻¹. -1 and 1571cm -1 The absorption peak is the stretching vibration of the benzene ring, at 1090 cm⁻¹. -1 1072cm -1 1007cm -1The absorption peak is due to the deformation vibration of the benzene ring, at 804 cm⁻¹. -1 This is a characteristic peak of para-substitution of the benzene ring.

[0075] Depend on Figure 2 The FT-IR spectrum of the derivatized PPS resin shows that at 3056 cm⁻¹ -1 The absorption peak is the CH stretching vibration of the benzene ring, at 1485 cm⁻¹. -1 1502cm -1 and 1582cm -1 The absorption peak is the stretching vibration of the benzene ring, at 1101 cm⁻¹. -1 1078cm -1 1012cm -1 The absorption peak is due to the deformation vibration of the benzene ring, at 872 cm⁻¹. -1 852cm -1 830cm -1 This is a characteristic peak for para-substitution of the benzene ring. 1146 cm⁻¹ -1 1167cm -1 and 1293cm -1 1321cm -1 The absorption peaks of the two w groups are characteristic infrared peaks of the symmetric and asymmetric stretching vibrations of the sulfone group. Due to the influence of the sulfone group, the stretching vibration peak of the benzene ring and the characteristic peak of para-substitution show a bifurcation of absorption peaks.

[0076] FT-IR results showed that obvious sulfone functional groups appeared in the derivatized PPS resin, and no infrared characteristic absorption peak of CO functional groups was detected, indicating that the derivatization effect of PPS was good. The derivatization reaction not only oxidized Ph-S-Ph in PPS to Ph-SO2-Ph, but also accurately targeted the derivatization without oxidation reactions occurring at other positions of the benzene ring.

[0077] The PPS resin raw material and the derivatized PPS resin obtained in section 1.4 were characterized by PY-GCMS under the following test conditions:

[0078] Thermolytic temperature: 600℃;

[0079] Thermolysis time: 5 min;

[0080] Column: DB-5 (60*0.25mm, 0.25μm);

[0081] Flow rate: 1.0 mL / min;

[0082] Inlet temperature: 340℃;

[0083] Column temperature: 40℃ for 5 min, then increase to 300℃ at a rate of 10℃ / min and hold for 14 min;

[0084] Ion source temperature: 320℃;

[0085] Transmission line temperature: 320℃;

[0086] Scan range: 15~550;

[0087] Sample size: 0.4 mg;

[0088] Split ratio: 200:1.

[0089] The PY-GCMS-TIC spectra of PPS resin and derivatized PPS resin obtained under the above conditions are shown below. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in Tables 1 and 2, the thermal decomposition components of PPS resin and derivatized PPS resin were obtained by analyzing the test spectra of PY-GCMS.

[0090] Table 1. Overview of PPS Resin's Pyrolytic Components

[0091]

[0092] Table 2. Summary of the thermal decomposition components of derivatized PPS resin

[0093]

[0094] As shown in Table 1, after high-temperature pyrolysis, the main pyrolysis components of PPS are thiophenol, phenyl sulfide, and polyphenyl sulfide, which are monomers and polymers of PPS polymers.

[0095] As shown in Table 2, after high-temperature pyrolysis, the derivatized PPS mainly consists of sulfur dioxide, benzene, diphenyl sulfone, and polyphenyl sulfone, etc. There are no PPS monomers such as thiophenol and phenyl sulfide, nor are there any components containing sulfoxide groups.

[0096] As can be seen from the results in Tables 1 and 2, after the derivatization reactions in Examples 1.1 and 1.2, the repeating unit of PPS resin has been changed from phenyl sulfide to phenyl sulfone, and PPS resin has been oxidized into polyphenyl sulfone that is easily soluble in chloroform.

[0097] The test results of FT-IR and PY-GCMS show that the derivatization reaction in this embodiment is sufficient and complete, in which the main functional group Ph-S-Ph of PPS can be completely transformed into Ph-SO2-Ph.

[0098] Figure 5 The image shows the chromatogram of the PPS-derived solution obtained by GPC testing with a triple detector in section 1.5. Figure 6The molecular weight distribution of the PPS-derived solution obtained from the test is shown in Table 3. The true molecular weight of the PPS-derived solution obtained by the triple detector is shown in Table 3.

[0099] Table 3. Summary of the true molecular weight of PPS-derived solutions

[0100]

[0101] Where Mp is the peak molecular weight, Mn is the number-average molecular weight, Mw is the weight-average molecular weight, Mz is the Z-average molecular weight, Mv is the viscosity-average molecular weight, and PD is the polydispersity index.

[0102] During PPS derivatization, the monomer is transformed from phenyl sulfide to phenyl sulfone. Since the derivatization reaction introduces no other functional groups besides the sulfone group, and the derivatization reaction is thorough and complete, the reaction equation (I) is given below based on the reaction relationship during PPS derivatization. Dividing the molecular weight of the derivatized PPS resin in Table 3 by 140 and then multiplying by 108 yields the true molecular weight of the PPS resin, as shown in Table 4.

[0104] in: (n=1, PPS resin monomer M) W =108, M of the derivatized PPS resin monomer W =140).

[0105] Table 4. Summary of the True Molecular Weight of PPS Resin

[0106]

[0107] The GPC (RI+LS+VS) test results can not only obtain the true molecular weight of PPS resin, but also analyze and characterize the conformation and structure of PPS resin molecules. Figure 7 and Figure 8 The images show the Mark-Houwink spectrum and molecular conformation diagram of the derivatized PPS resin, respectively. The Mark-Houwink spectrum reflects the relationship between intrinsic viscosity and molecular weight, while the molecular conformation diagram reflects the relationship between molecular size and molecular weight. Both provide information on polymer molecular dynamics in solution and are a good way to understand the solution behavior of polymer molecules.

[0108] Although the structures of derivatized PPS resin and PPS resin itself differ slightly, they still hold significant reference value for evaluating PPS models. Furthermore, the molecular models obtained from the characterization of derivatized PPS provide a valuable reference standard for cross-sectional comparisons of molecular models of different specifications and types of PPS resins.

[0109] Comparative Example 1

[0110] Accurately weigh 0.05g of PPS resin, use polystyrene (PS) as a calibration curve, and use high-temperature GPC (RI) to obtain its molecular weight, as shown in Table 5.

[0111] Table 5. Molecular Weight of PPS Resin (High Temperature GPC)

[0112]

[0113] Compared to the results in Example 1, the molecular weight obtained by the high-temperature GPC test is smaller than the actual molecular weight. This is because any sphere formed by the entanglement of PPS of a specific molecular weight in a 1-chloronaphthalene solution will be smaller than that of PS of the same molecular weight. Therefore, if the high-temperature GPC system is calibrated with PS standards to analyze PPS, the calculated results for all PPS samples will be lower because the molecules eluted on the column are treated as smaller PS molecules.

[0114] Comparative Example 2

[0115] 1.1 Accurately measure 0.0525 g of PPS resin, add 10 mL of 1-chloronaphthalene, 0.1002 g of 4-chlorobenzenesulfonic acid, and 0.1005 g of sodium bismuthate to a 100 mL flask, and reflux at 200 °C for 2 h.

[0116] 1.2 Add 50 mL of aqueous solution to the reaction solution in 1.1, let stand and separate the layers, and take the lower organic phase;

[0117] 1.3 The organic phase was filtered through a 0.45 μm filter membrane to obtain a PPS-derived solution;

[0118] 1.4 The PPS derivative solution obtained in 1.3 was subjected to GPC (RI+LS+VS) triple detector testing, with polystyrene (PS) as the calibration curve; the test conditions were the same as in Example 1, and the molecular weight of PPS resin was calculated, as shown in Table 6.

[0119] Table 6. A summary of the molecular weight of PPS resins (Comparative Example 2)

[0120]

[0121] As shown in Table 6, compared to the results of Example 1, the molecular weight of the PPS resin obtained by performing only step 1) oxidation without step 2) oxidation is lower. Under the condition that other factors remain unchanged, performing only one oxidation step in step 1) is insufficient to completely derivatize PPS, and therefore the true molecular weight of PPS cannot be obtained.

[0122] Comparative Example 3

[0123] The preparation process is basically the same as that in Comparative Example 2, except that the reaction temperature in step 1.1 is replaced with 260℃.

[0124] The molecular weights of the PPS resins obtained in this comparative example are shown in Table 7.

[0125] Table 7. A summary of the molecular weight of PPS resins (Comparative Example 3)

[0126]

[0127] As shown in Table 7, although the reaction temperature was increased, the molecular weight of the obtained PPS resin still differed significantly from the true molecular weight. If the reaction temperature is further increased, the solvent 1-chloronaphthalene will be lost during the reaction, and the solvent may even evaporate completely. Therefore, simply increasing the reaction temperature in step 1) without secondary oxidation cannot completely derivatize PPS, and thus the true molecular weight of PPS cannot be obtained.

[0128] Comparative Example 4

[0129] The preparation process is basically the same as that in Comparative Example 2, except that the reaction time in step 1.1 is replaced with 4 hours.

[0130] The molecular weights of the PPS resins obtained in this comparative example are shown in Table 8.

[0131] Table 8. A summary of the molecular weight of PPS resins (Comparative Example 4)

[0132]

[0133] As shown in Table 8, although the reaction time was increased, the molecular weight of the obtained PPS resin was not significantly different from that in Comparative Example 2. This indicates that simply increasing the reaction time in step 1) without performing a secondary oxidation reaction is insufficient to fully derivatize PPS, thus failing to obtain the true molecular weight of PPS.

[0134] Example 2

[0135] The preparation process is basically the same as in Example 1, except that the reaction temperature in step 1.1 is replaced with 190°C.

[0136] The molecular weight of the PPS resin obtained in this embodiment is shown in Table 9.

[0137] Table 9. A summary of the molecular weight of PPS resins (Example 2)

[0138]

[0139] As shown in Table 9, after lowering the reaction temperature in step 1.1 to 190℃, the molecular weight of PPS obtained was almost identical to that of PPS in Example 1. In the GPC test, the relative error of the measured values ​​was less than 10%, and the test results can be considered reliable. This indicates that lowering the reaction temperature in step 1) to 190℃ still meets the testing requirements.

[0140] Example 3

[0141] The preparation process is basically the same as in Example 1, except that the reaction temperature in step 1.1 is replaced with 220°C.

[0142] The molecular weight of the PPS resin obtained in this embodiment is shown in Table 10.

[0143] Table 10. List of molecular weights of PPS resins (Example 3)

[0144]

[0145] As shown in Table 10, after raising the reaction temperature in step 1.1 to 220°C, the molecular weight of PPS obtained was almost identical to that of PPS in Example 1. This indicates that raising the reaction temperature in step 1) to 220°C still meets the testing requirements.

[0146] Comparative Example 5

[0147] The preparation process is basically the same as in Example 1, except that the reaction temperature in step 1.1 is replaced with 150°C.

[0148] The molecular weights of the PPS resins obtained in this comparative example are shown in Table 11.

[0149] Table 11. A summary of the molecular weight of PPS resins (Comparative Example 5)

[0150]

[0151] As shown in Table 11, lowering the reaction temperature in step 1.1 to 150℃ resulted in a significantly different molecular weight of the obtained PPS resin compared to its true molecular weight. After derivatization, a distinct white insoluble substance, PPS, was observed in the chloroform solution. This indicates that at this temperature, PPS cannot be completely derivatized and oxidized to polyphenylsulfone, and this temperature does not meet the testing requirements.

[0152] Comparative Example 6

[0153] The preparation process is basically the same as in Example 1, except that the reaction temperature in step 1.1 is replaced with 180℃. The molecular weight of the PPS resin obtained in this comparative example is shown in Table 12.

[0154] Table 12. A summary of the molecular weight of PPS resins (Comparative Example 6)

[0155]

[0156] As shown in Table 12, lowering the reaction temperature in step 1.1 to 180℃ resulted in a significant difference between the molecular weight of the obtained PPS resin and the actual molecular weight. This indicates that at this temperature, PPS cannot be completely derivatized and oxidized to polyphenylsulfone, and this temperature does not meet the testing requirements.

[0157] Comparing the results of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 5-6, it can be seen that the molecular weight of PPS gradually increases with increasing derivatization temperature. When the temperature in step 1.1 reaches above 190°C, the molecular weight of the obtained PPS is consistent with the true molecular weight of PPS, indicating that PPS can be completely derivatized at temperatures above 190°C. To improve the reaction rate, ensure complete derivatization, and minimize instrument wear, a derivatization temperature of 200-220°C is most suitable.

[0158] Example 4

[0159] The preparation process is basically the same as in Example 1, except that the reaction time in step 1.1 is replaced with 2.5 h.

[0160] The molecular weight of the PPS resin obtained in this embodiment is shown in Table 13.

[0161] Table 13. List of molecular weights of PPS resins (Example 4)

[0162]

[0163] As shown in Table 13, increasing the reaction time in step 1.1 to 2.5 h resulted in a PPS resin with a molecular weight consistent with the actual molecular weight. This indicates that under these reaction time conditions, PPS can be completely derivatized and oxidized to polyphenylsulfone, meeting the testing requirements.

[0164] Comparative Example 7

[0165] The preparation process is basically the same as in Example 1, except that the reaction time in step 1.1 is replaced with 1 hour.

[0166] The molecular weights of the PPS resins obtained in this comparative example are shown in Table 14.

[0167] Table 14. A summary of the molecular weight of PPS resins (Comparative Example 7)

[0168]

[0169] As shown in Table 14, reducing the reaction time in step 1.1 to 1 hour resulted in a significant difference between the molecular weight of the obtained PPS resin and the true molecular weight. After derivatization, granular white insoluble matter was found in the chloroform solution, indicating that at this reaction time, PPS could not be completely derivatized and oxidized to polyphenylsulfone, and this reaction time did not meet the testing requirements.

[0170] Comparative Example 8

[0171] The preparation process is basically the same as in Example 1, except that the reaction time in step 1.1 is replaced with 1.5h.

[0172] The molecular weights of the PPS resins obtained in this comparative example are shown in Table 15.

[0173] Table 15. A summary of the molecular weights of PPS resins (Comparative Example 8)

[0174]

[0175] As shown in Table 15, reducing the reaction time in step 1.1 to 1.5 h resulted in a significant difference between the molecular weight of the obtained PPS resin and the true molecular weight. This indicates that at this reaction time, PPS cannot be completely derivatized and oxidized to polyphenylsulfone, and this reaction time does not meet the testing requirements.

[0176] Example 5

[0177] The preparation process is basically the same as in Example 1, except that:

[0178] Replace the oxidant A in step 1.1 with an equal mass of potassium dichromate, and replace the auxiliary agent with an equal mass of oxalic acid.

[0179] The molecular weight of the PPS resin obtained in this embodiment is shown in Table 16.

[0181]

[0182] As can be seen from the test results in Table 16, the molecular weight of the PPS resin obtained in this embodiment is consistent with the true molecular weight of PPS.

[0183] Example 6

[0184] The preparation process is basically the same as in Example 1, except that the oxidant B in step 1.2 is replaced with an equal mass of peroxydodecanoic acid.

[0185] The molecular weight of the PPS resin obtained in this embodiment is shown in Table 17.

[0186] Table 17. Molecular weight summary of PPS resin (Example 6)

[0187]

[0188] As can be seen from the test results in Table 17, the molecular weight of the PPS resin obtained in this embodiment is consistent with the true molecular weight of PPS.

[0189] Comparative Example 9

[0190] The preparation process is basically the same as in Example 1, except that the oxidant B in step 1.2 is replaced with an equal mass of N-methylmorpholine oxide.

[0191] The molecular weights of the PPS resins obtained in this comparative example are shown in Table 18.

[0192] Table 18. A summary of the molecular weight of PPS resins (Comparative Example 9)

[0193]

[0194] Comparing the data in Tables 4 and 18, the molecular weight obtained using N-methylmorpholine oxide as the oxidant differs significantly from the true molecular weight of PPS. This indicates that N-methylmorpholine oxide cannot sufficiently oxidize PPS into polyphenylsulfone.

[0195] Comparative Example 10

[0196] The preparation process is basically the same as in Example 1, except that the oxidant B in step 1.2 is replaced with an equal mass of dimethyldioxyethylene.

[0197] The molecular weights of the PPS resins obtained in this comparative example are shown in Table 19.

[0198] Table 19. A summary of the molecular weight of PPS resins (Comparative Example 10)

[0199]

[0200] Comparing the data in Tables 4 and 19, the molecular weight obtained using dimethyl diethylene oxide as the oxidant differs significantly from the true molecular weight of PPS. This indicates that dimethyl diethylene oxide cannot sufficiently oxidize PPS into polyphenylene sulfone.
