Antistatic-reinforced biocomposites of polyamide-6 and polyaniline-coated curauá fibers prepared on a pilot plant scale

Curauá fibers were used with success as a reinforcing agent in polyamide-6, however, for several applications, an antistatic dissipation property is also desirable and the incorporation of an intrinsically conducting polymer is a suitable way to promote this. The novelty of this work is the simultaneous introduction of these two properties, antistatic and reinforcement, using one filler, obtained by depositing polyaniline on the surface of short...
