Poly(p-phenylene sulfide) (PPS) is the precursor to a conducting polymer of the semi-flexible rod polymer family. One of the usual reactants in production of PPS is p-dichlorobenzene. The PPS may be converted to the semiconducting form by oxidation or use of dopants. Chevron Phillips manufactures the most common form in industry under the brand name Ryton.
