Antistatic surface properties of plastics using donor-accepter molecular compounding antistatic agent

Abstract

Abstract In order to obtain transparent plastic material with antistatic property for optical communication application, cyclo olefin polymer (COP)/BN105 composite materials prepared by using injection molding have been evaluated. Surface resistance of the molded product decreased to 2×1011 Ω/sq along with an increase in BN105 content range up to 2 wt%. The samples showed excellent property to prevent the surface from dust adhesion. In addition, the samples containing BN105 less than 5 wt% did not show any decrease in transmittance without any significant change of tensile strength. The results indicate COP/BN105 as a promising plastic composite material with sufficient antistatic property as well as high transparency.
