Polymerized ionic liquids as durable antistatic agents for polyether-based polyurethanes
Ionic liquid (IL) fillers, which are composed of polymerized [2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]trimethylammonium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide, were applied as antistatic agents for polyether-based polyurethane (PU). Surface and volume resistivities of 10 10 Ω sq −1 and 10 8 Ω cm, which are hundred times smaller than those of pristine PU and also are desired values for realizing antistatic effects, were achieved at the concentration of fillers of only 1000 ppm.
