Description
- The present invention relates to a conductive carbon powder emanating essentially from lignin, a method for the manufacturing thereof and use thereof. Said powder may emanate from an electrically conductive carbon intermediate product, in turn emanating essentially from lignin. Further, uses thereof and compositions comprising said carbon powder are disclosed. Additionally methods for manufacturing said conductive carbon powder, also involving an electrically conductive carbon intermediate product emanating essentially from lignin, are disclosed together with a method for making said compositions.
- Conductive plastics are used in many different applications where electromagnetic interference and electrostatic discharge must be avoided. Examples include packaging material for consumer electronics, computer or mobile phone housings, piping and tanks for flammable liquids such as gasoline tanks, wires and cables. Conventional plastics (thermoplastics and thermosets) have poor electrical conductivity and are prone to building up static electricity. They can be rendered dissipative or even conductive by adding pulverized conductive material at levels beyond the so called percolation threshold. The resulting compound comprising the plastic and the conductive material is called conductive plastic. The mechanical performance of the plastic, however, suffers from adding pulverized conductive material as impact strength and ductility decrease. High-performing conductive materials attain the percolation threshold at low addition levels, retaining the mechanical performance of the plastic. The most commonly used conductive material is conductive carbon black, a special and expensive grade of carbon black.
- Carbon black is produced by pyrolysing oil with fuel gas in a furnace. In the production of conductive carbon blacks, pyrolysis is followed by expensive post treatment steps to increase conductivity, notably steam exposure to increase the surface area and extraction to remove contaminants.

The commercial carbon blacks were SAPAC-6 (from CarboChem), Printex XE-2 (from Degussa) and Vulcan XC-72 (Cabot). -
FIG. 1 discloses also, additionally, volume resistivity of compositions comprising PP (HP 561R from Lyondell Basell) and 5% and 10%, respectively, of conductive carbon powder described above. - The figure shows that conductive carbonized lignin powder provided by the present invention has at least the same conductivity performance as the best commercial carbon black (Printex XE-2).
- In order to measure the electrical conductivity of the powder samples, the powder was filled into a hollow cylinder. This cylinder was made of non-conductive PMMA which was cleaned thoroughly between each measurement. The inner diameter was 5 mm. At the bottom of the cylinder there was a gold plated copper plate as a base electrode. The second electrode was a copper stamp which was also gold plated and formed the second electrode. The stamp was then inserted into the cylinder thus slowly compressing the powder. Through a force measurement and online position measurement the applied pressure as well as the volume within the powder filled chamber was plotted. Through applying a DC voltage to the two electrodes the absolute resistance could be measured. Together with the documented position of the stamp a volume resistivity could be calculated.
- In order to compare various samples with potentially varying specific volumes the resistivity values could only be compared at equal pressure levels. In the presented results the chambers were filled with powder and compressed to the maximal pressure of 31 MPa. The measured value is indicated in
