Abstract :
Melt-processable conductive polyaniline (PANI) blended with polypropylene (PP) offers a new material for controlling the electrical conductivity and thus optimize ESD protection properties of injection moulded antistatic articles. This study concentrates on the surface resistivity and ESD protection properties of PP/PANI compared to some commercial compounds of carbon black (CB) and PP.
