“…To improve the antistatic properties of PET, most studies over the past 20 years have been carried out by the incorporation of dicarboxylic acid or diol as the third monomer. The resulting PET fibers showed improved hygroscopicity and antistatic properties and improved dyeability 1–6…”

“…Of all the third monomers investigated, poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) has arguably been the most useful. PEG affords PET fibers with an affinity toward moisture, which greatly helps the leakage of static charges 3–6. Sharples and coworkers believed that the high conductivity of PEG did not arise from absorbed water but from proton removal 7, 8.…”

Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) fiber has a low moisture regain, which allows it to easily gather static charges, and many investigations have been carried out on this problem. In this study, a series of poly(ethylene terephthalate-co-isophthalate) (PEIT)-poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) block copolymers were prepared by the incorporation of isophthalic acid (IPA) during esterification and PEG during condensation. PEG afforded PET with an increased moisture affinity, which in turn, promoted the leakage of static charges. However, PET also then became easier to crystallize, even at room temperature, which led to decreased antistatic properties and increased manufacturing inconveniences. IPA was, therefore, used to reduce the crystallinity of the copolymers and, at the same time, make their crystal structure looser for increased water absorption. Moreover, PET fibers with incorporated IPA and PEG showed good dyeability. In this article, the structural characterization of the copolymers and antistatic and mechanical properties of the resulting fibers are discussed. At 4 wt % IPA, the fiber containing 1 mol % PEG with a molecular weight of 1000 considerably improved antistatic properties and other properties. In addition, the use of PEIT-PEG as an antistatic agent blended with PET or modified PET fibers also benefitted the antistatic properties. Moreover, PEIT-PEG could be used with another antistatic agent to produce fibers with a low volume resistance.

“…Many methods have been used to improve the poor antistatic property of polymer materials, including the addition of surfactants, blending and copolymerization of hydrophilic monomers, physical modification and chemical oxidation reaction [1][2][3][4]. For example, physical modification can change the geometry of the fibers from a round shape to other shapes because multilobal cross sections improve the fiber wicking quality.…”

Hydrophilic monomer was grafted onto polyacrylonitrile fiber using an atmospheric pressure dielectric barrier discharge plasma technique. The degree of grafting was evaluated using a dyeing method. The treated surfaces were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The plasma-grafting treatment was found to introduce some amide, carboxyl and hyamine groups onto the fiber surface, and to drastically improve the wettability and antistatic ability of polyacrylonitrile fibers.

A poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) fabric was modified by UV-induced graft polymerization of water-soluble monomers to make the hydrophobic surface permanently hydrophilic without altering the bulk properties. The monomers were nonionic, anionic, and cationic. The antistatic properties of the modified PET fabrics were studied by measuring the triboelectrostatic potential generated upon rubbing with a cotton fabric, the decay time of the electrostatic potential given by a high voltage application to the PET fabric, and the surface electric resistance. The antistatic properties were significantly improved by graft polymerization onto the surface region of PET fibers. The accumulated electrostatic charge was much smaller and disappeared much more rapidly when the PET fabric was grafted with poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate (the average degree of polymerization of poly(ethylene glycol) is 9) than with any other monomers studied. The acquired antistatic properties were maintained without significant loss after washing and storage.' On leave from Kacho Junior College, Kyoto, Japan.2 To whom correspondence should be addressed. A large number of workers have attempted to improve the poor antistatic properties of fabrics using various methods [7,15,17,25,26,29,30]. The mechanism for generating triboelectric charges is still controversial and, in addition, it remains unclear whether the electric charge carrier is electrons, ions, or both. According to Montgomery and Loeb, the carrier might be electrons [9,12], whereas Harper assumes that the carrier is not entirely electrons if the charged material is strictly an insulator [ 1 ]. According to Shaw [ 16], the triboelectric charging is greatly influenced by the manner of rubbing. Lowell studied the dependence of triboelectric generation on the friction speed [ 10]. Lewis noted that atmospheric conditions such as temperature and humidity will play a great role in the electrification of a surface [8]. Many efforts have been made to minimize the accumulation of electrostatic charge [27], including the addition of surfactants, blending of hydrophilic polymers, copolymerization of hydrophilic monomers, and surface modifications by physical coating and chemical reactions such as oxidation [2, 3, 5, 6, 1 l, '.4]. Almost all of these methods are associated with drawbacks, however, such as low durability, poor washing resistance, deterioration of bulk properties, bad handling, and high cost. Surface modifications of polyester have been achieved using various methods such as alkalin treatments [13,28]. We have been working on surface modifications of a variety of polymers by graft polymerization of hydrophilic monomers [4,18,19,20,21,22,23]. In an eariier paper, we found that the surface of polyester films was effectively graft-polymerizzed if UV light was irradiated onto the films under immersion in an aqueous solution of monomers at room temperature [20]. Moreover, we could show that the surface graft polymerization was realized without any nitrogen bubbling or degassing process...
