THE EFFECT OF HOST POLYOLEFIN PROPERTIES AND PROCESSING CONDITIONS ON THE ANTISTATIC PERFORMANCE OF K-IONOMER BLENDS

摘要

K-ionomer antistatic agent is highly effective in polyolefin host resins. In addition to the many unique features it imparts to the end-use properties, the K-ionomer shows good compatibility with polyolefins and is easy to process. This paper presents an in-depth discussion on several material and processing factors that need to be properly controlled in order to achieve a favorable blend morphology and further improve the antistat performance.
