Polysulfide polymers can be synthesized by condensation polymerization reactions between dihalides and alkaline polysulfides, or they can be formed by ring-opening polymerization reactions.
Polysulfide polymers can be synthesized by condensation polymerization reactions between organic dihalides and alkal metal salts of polysulfide anions. In some cases, polysulfide polymers can be formed by ring-opening polymerization reactions.
