Bicomponent technology has been used to introduce functional and novelty effects other than stretch to nylon fibers. For instance, antistatic yams are made by spinning a conductive carbon-black polymer dispersion as a core with a sheath of nylon (188) and as a side-by-side configuration (189). At 0.1—1.0% implants, these conductive filaments give durable static resistance to nylon carpets without interfering with dye coloration. Conductive materials such as carbon black or metals as a sheath around a core of nylon interfere with color, especially light shades. 

Stannic chloride is also used widely as a catalyst in Eriedel-Crafts acylation, alkylation and cycHzation reactions, esterifications, halogenations, and curing and other polymerization reactions. Minor uses are as a stabilizer for colors in soap (19), as a mordant in the dyeing of silks, in the manufacture of blueprint and other sensitized paper, and as an antistatic agent for synthetic fibers (see Dyes, application and evaluation Antistatic agents). 

Effective antistatic agents must act at a relative humidity below 40%, preferably below 15%. The agent must form a film on various surfaces and be apphed from a solution or dispersion in water or other inexpensive solvents. The antistatic agent must not interfere with subsequent processing of the product, impair the hand, or affect color, odor, appearance, and performance properties of the substrate. It should be nontoxic and nonflammable. 

Surfa.cta.nt-TypeAntista.ts, Inherently conductive antistats have the advantage of not being dependent on atmospheric moisture to function. Thek drawbacks include expense, coloration of the plastic, and alteration of the mechanical properties of the plastic. The added stiffness caused by conductive fillers may not be a problem with a rigid container, but it can be a problem for a flexible bag.

An electric conductive rubber base containing carbon black is laminated with an electric conductive cover layer of phosphoric acid ester plasticizer and other ionic surfactants to prepare antistatic mats, where the covers have colors other than black. It is also reported that alkyl acid phosphates act as color stabilizer for rubber. Small amounts of phosphate esters are helpful in restoring reclaimed rubber to a workable viscosity [284,290]. Esters of phosphoric acid are used in the production of UV-stable and flame-retarded alkylbenzenesulfonate copolymer compositions containing aliphatic resins and showing a high-impact strength... 

Surface Modifications. Basic photopolymer chemistry is also being used for the surface modification of films, textiles fibers, and many other organic-based materials (104). Some of the novel applications of photopolymer technology to surface modification include the design of cell repellent treatments and in photografting of various chemical functionality onto the surface of materials to improve color retention, enhance the adhesion of antistatic chemicals or to improve staining resistance. 

Union Carbide (34) and in particular Dow adopted the continuous mass polymerization process. Credit goes to Dow (35) for improving the old BASF process in such a way that good quality impact-resistant polystyrenes became accessible. The result was that impact-resistant polystyrene outstripped unmodified crystal polystyrene. Today, some 60% of polystyrene is of the impact-resistant type. The technical improvement involved numerous details it was necessary to learn how to handle highly viscous polymer melts, how to construct reactors for optimum removal of the reaction heat, how to remove residual monomer and solvents, and how to convey and meter melts and mix them with auxiliaries (antioxidants, antistatics, mold-release agents and colorants). All this was necessary to obtain not only an efficiently operating process but also uniform quality products differentiated to meet the requirements of various fields of application. In the meantime this process has attained technical maturity over the years it has been modified a number of times (Shell in 1966 (36), BASF in 1968 (37), Granada Plastics in 1970 (38) and Monsanto in 1975 (39)) but the basic concept has been retained. 

Polymers of N, N, N, A-diallyldimethylammonium chloride (DADMAC) (and its copolymers with acrylamide) are allyl resins in terms of the monomers used but are very different in properties since they are not crosslinked. Cyclopolymerization is the mode of reaction (Sec. 6-6b) and the polymers are water-soluble. Applications include potable and wastewater treatment (flocculation aid) and paper and textile industries (antistatic coating, reinforcement, color removal). 

Catalysts, colorants, foaming agents, biocides, lubricants, and antistats are also used as additives for polymers. Although foaming agents reduce the specific gravity, the other cited additives, when used in moderate amounts, have little effect on the physical or thermal properties of the polymers.

One of the fluids was pure Mazola corn oil and the other was the same oil colored with oil-based Teal dye and doped with oil-miscible antistatic Stadis 450 to increase the conductivity and permittivity [91]. The latter values were measured with a broadband dielectric spectrometer in a spatially uniform low electric field for frequencies of 0.5-1 kHz. 

Three properties that contribute the most to migration are (1) incompatibility with the resin, (2) low melt point, and (3) low molecular weight. Examples of noncolorant additives that are prone to migrate are (1) lubricants/dispersants such as metal stearates and bis-stearamides, (2) mold release and slip agents, and (3) antistatic agents. All of these ingredients serve useful purposes in color formulations. If you exceed their solubility limit in the end-use resin, however, you risk blooming and its consequences. 

Antistatic additives are designed to be present on the surface of the molded part to achieve the full antistatic benefit. The types of additives used to enhance antistatic properties include quaternary ammonium salts, alkyl sulfonates or phosphate plus alkali metals, ethoxylated amines, or gylcerol esters. Antistatics are typically used at higher levels than other additives such as antioxidants. Therefore, antistatics are likely to increase light scattering, making it more difficult to achieve the higher chroma colors.
