TL;DR: The structure of poly-p-phenylene sulphide has been determined through the application of X-ray diffraction methods as mentioned in this paper, and the structure appears to be similar to that of polyphenylene oxide, and the planes of the phenylene groups are alternately at +45° and −45° to the (100) plane.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors characterized self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) formed from thiophenol, 1,1'-biphenyl-4-thiol and anthracene-2 -thiol on polycrystalline Au and Ag.
Abstract: Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) formed from thiophenol, 1,1‘-biphenyl-4-thiol, 1,1‘;4‘,1‘ ‘-terphenyl-4-thiol, and anthracene-2-thiol on polycrystalline Au and Ag were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and angle-resolved near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy. With the exception of the poorly defined thiophenol film on Au, all thioaromatic molecules were found to form highly oriented and densely packed SAMs on both substrates. The molecular orientation and orientational order of the adsorbed thioaromatic molecules depends on the number of aromatic rings, the substrate, and the rigidity of the aromatic system. The molecules, which on average are slightly inclined with respect to the surface normal, show a less tilted orientation with increasing length of the aromatic chain, and as observed for aliphatic SAMs, they exhibit smaller tilt angles on Ag than on Au. However, the difference in the tilt angles for aromatic SAMs on Au and Ag is smaller than that observed in the aliph...

TL;DR: In this paper, the growth rates of spherulites were measured in poly(p-phenylene sulphide) crystallized from the melt and the quenched glass over the temperature range 100°C-280°C, possibly the most extensive overall range yet reported for any polymer and, as such, most propitious for study of regime III crystallization.
