Use of PEDOT in Antistatic Coatings

The success of PEDOT PSS in this application has its origin in its high conductivity, low color, stability, easiness to process, and it is inherently to conductive polymers, a moisture-independent antistatic effect.  

Antistatic layer PED0T PSS-S102 hybrid layer 

PEDOT PSS as an antistatic coating for cathode ray tubes according to Yoon et al. (KR 2000 009403/US 6630196, Prior July 24,1998 °  

In addition to the antistatic effect, the PEDOTrPSS layer was found to enhance the optical contrast of the displays. Antistatic layers for optical applications require a low content of large particles, sufficient hardness, high adhesion to glass, and a surface resistance of approximately 10 Q/sq. 

Other uses of PEDOTPSS for antistatic layers are numerous nd mainly described in patent applications. A few examples are highlighted in the following list scratch resistant antistatic hybrid coatings polycarbonate sheets, antistatic latex gloves coated with PEDOTPSS fulfilling the tests for surface resistivity, puncture resistance and charge decay, antistatic textiles, floor coverings, and antistatic self-adhesive tapes.
