β¦ Synopsis
The condensation polymerization of sodium sulfide with methylene chloride in various solvents was studied in order t o assess the influence of polarity on the yield and composition of condensation products. T h e effect of addition of polyethylene glycol was also studied. I t has been found that the overall yield of polythiomethylenes rises from 13.9% in methanol to 85.2% (methanol, PEG15000). The use of solvents of higher polarity promotes the linear oligomers, whereas in methanol the cyclic products predominate. In presence of PEG the this equilibrium is shifted towards tetrathiane. The observed phenomena are discussed in terms of solvents polarity and reaction media viscosity. 0 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

## Abstract The mechanical behavior of two Ξ³βirradiated linear polyethylenes was determined at 75 and 105Β°C under tensile stress. Each polymer was crystallized from the melt after different thermal histories so that samples would be obtained with various degrees of crystallinity. Subsequently, they
