Abstract

A polythioether includes a structure having the formula I EQU --R.sup.1 --[--S--(CH.sub.2).sub.2 --O--[--R.sup.2 --O--].sub.m --(CH.sub.2).sub.2 --S--R.sup.1 --].sub.n -- I wherein PA0 R.sup.1 denotes a divalent C.sub.2-6 n-alkyl, C.sub.3-6 branched alkyl, C.sub.6-8 cycloalkyl or C.sub.6-10 alkylcycloalkyl group, --[(--CH.sub.2 --).sub.p --X--].sub.q --(--CH.sub.2 --).sub.r --, or --[(--CH.sub.2 --).sub.p --X--].sub.q --(--CH.sub.2 --).sub.r -- in which at least one --CH.sub.2 -- unit is substituted with a methyl group, PA0 R.sup.2 denotes methylene, a divalent C.sub.2-6 n-alkyl, C.sub.2-6 branched alkyl, C.sub.6-8 cycloalkyl or C.sub.6-10 alkylcycloalkyl group, or --[(--CH.sub.2 --).sub.p --X--].sub.q --(--CH.sub.2 --).sub.r --, PA0 X denotes one selected from the group consisting of O, S and --NR.sup.6, PA0 R.sup.6 denotes H or methyl, PA0 m is a rational number from 0 to 10, PA0 n is an integer from 1 to 60, PA0 p is an integer from 2 to 6, PA0 q is an integer from 0 to 5, and PA0 r is an integer from 2 to 10. The polythioether is a liquid at room temperature and pressure.
