Antistatic and electrically conducting polymers and moulding materials

Abstract From the Canadian patent

Antistatic and electrically conducting polymers and moulding materials Abstract, As a result of the action of electron acceptors for example chlorine, bromine and/or iodine on compositions containing a linear, branched or structurally crosslinked polymer and an unsubstituted or substituted tetrathionaphthalene, tetraselenonaphthalene tetratellurona-, phthalene, tetrathiotetracene tetraselenotetracene or tetratelluro-, tetracene electrical conductivity is imparted to the compositions through the formation of charge-transfer complexes. These compositions are suitable for the production of mouldings filaments, fibres, coatings and composite materials which have an antistatic finish or are …
