Investigation of charge transport properties in conducting copolymers of aniline with 3-aminobenzenesulfonic acid for their applications as antistatic encapsulation materials blended with low-density polyethylene

The electrostatic charge dissipative ( ESD ) properties of conducting self‐doped and PTSA-doped copolymers of aniline ( AA ), o ‐methoxyaniline (methoxy AA ) and o ‐ethoxyaniline (ethoxy AA ) with 3‐aminobenzenesulfonic acid (3‐ ABSA ) blended with low‐density polyethylene ( LDPE ) were investigated in the presence of external dopant p ‐toluenesulfonic acid ( PTSA ). Blending of copolymers with LDPE was carried out in a twin‐screw extruder by...
