Definitions

• the present invention relates to inherently conductive polymers and their uses. More particularly, it relates to novel aqueous solutions of inherently conductive polymers and to methods for the preparation thereof. The present invention also concerns the use of the aqueous solutions for forming films and coating layers.
• Electronic components are easily damaged in the case of rapid discharging of the electrostatic current (electrostatic discharge, ESD), causing insulating areas and other defects in the conductive patterns. Therefore, electronic components and devices are often packed in electrically conductive packages that have optimally surface resistance in the range of 10 6 -10 9 ohm. Due to the large conductive surface of the package, possible electric charges are discharged in a controlled manner, without damaging the components.
• ESD electrostatic discharge
• plastic that can be in various forms such as rigid film or flexible foil.
• a typical way to make such packaging materials electrically conductive is by mixing carbon black or other conductive fillers into the polymer matrix.
• conductive fillers may migrate to the surface of the package and cause contamination of the product.
• fillers do not allow the control of the conductivity, but lead easily to highly conductive materials that are not optimal for ESD protection. Furthermore, most fillers lead to non-transparent materials.
• Another option would be conductors based on ionic conductivity, which is well known technology for antistatic applications. However, in this case the conductivity often requires conditions with high relative humidity of the air and the conductivity is often lost by time. Also, the level of conductivity is restricted in the lower end of the ESD protection, maximum surface resistance being typically 10 8 - 10 9 ohm.

• 2.00 g of PDMPO-SA20 was dissolved in 40 ml of ethanol and placed in a 250 ml round bottomed flask equipped with a magnetic stirrer. Then, 0.56 g of aniline was dissolved in the solution.
• APS (1.75 g) was dissolved in 10 ml of distilled and added to the reaction solution within an hour. The reaction was continued for another 16 hours and after that the solution was purified by dialysis against methanol. Dialysis was continued for 10 hours and the dialyzed product was transferred to storage.
