Thermal properties of poly(phenylene sulfide amide) (PPSA) prepared using sodium sulfide, sulfur, and thiourea as sulfur sources which reacted with dichlorobenzamide (DCBA) and alkali in polar organic solvent at the atmospheric pressure, were studied. The glass transition temperature ( T g ), melting point temperature ( T m ), and melting enthalpy (Δ H m ) of the related polymers were obtained by use of differential scanning calorimetry analysis. The results are: T g = 103.4–104.5°C, T m = 291.5–304.7°C, and Δ H m = 104.4–115.4 J/g. Thermal properties such as thermal decomposition temperature and decomposition kinetics were investigated by thermogravimetric analysis under nitrogen. The initial and maximum rate temperatures of degradation were found to be 401.5–411.7°C and 437–477°C, respectively. The parameters of thermal decomposition kinetics of PPSAs were worked out to be: activation energy of degradation was 135 to 148 kJ/mol and the 60‐s half‐life temperature was 360 to 371°C. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
