Polyaniline PANI

Applications using Polyaniline PANI based conductive polymers:

• neat materials, blends, compounds and solutions
  Polyaniline based conductive polymers can be used neat, or as blends and compounds with commodity polymers. Several prototype objects and articles have been made of these compounds with polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, soft PVC, PMMA, phenol-formaldehyde resins, melamineformaldehyde resins, epoxies, and thermoplastic elastomers.
  
  The solution processing properties of polyaniline based conductive polymers make totally new product ideas possible. These include electroactive inks, paints, coatings, and adhesives, electrochromic “smart” windows, electrically conductive transparent films, and conductive high performance fibres. Solution processing can be carried out using the neat material or a blend.
  
   
• electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection materials
  One target application of these materials is the protection from electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD causes problems when handling sensitive electronic components, explosive chemicals or dry powders. The use of, e.g. antistatic materials in specific environments reduce ESD related problems, such as the amount of damaged valuable end products in an assembly line. The controllable conductivity in ESD protection materials is one of the basic benefits of conductive polymer technology.

In terms of yarn and fiber, Polyaniline PANI can be applied for

• conductive textiles
• antistatic floors
• automotive industry

and many more.
