Methods and compositions for improving the extrusion and creep resistance of components for use in high temperature applications including sealing elements and seal connectors, among others, are described. The method includes providing a composition having an aromatic polymer and a cross-linking compound, and subjecting the composition to a thermoforming process to form a component and cross-link the aromatic polymer. The present invention includes a composition for forming an extrusion resistant sealant comprising an aromatic polymer and a crosslinking compound. |
