Abstract
Polysulfide polymers as an important class of polymers are used in different applications as sealants, adhesives, etc. They are usually synthesized by reaction of disodium polysulfides with dihalo compounds to yield liquid or solid polymers. Their most important advantages are excellent adhesion to different surfaces, creation of no defect in sealant under stress and pressure, resistance against to fuels and solvents, very low gas and steam permeability, and high resistance to ozone and UV. This article aims to review methods of synthesis, properties, and applications of polysulfide polymers. Also, polysulfide-based nanocomposites and blends are also briefly discussed.
