“…Firstly, the added water may increase the electrical conductivity of the propellant, which would suppress charging. This inverse relationship between conductivity and charging has been reported for organic (Dacre & Hetherington, 1998) and aqueous (Rosell, Gonda, Schuster, & Liu, 2002;Vaaraslahti, Laitinen, & Keskinen, 2002;Yatsuzuka, Higashiyama, & Asano, 1996;Yatsuzuka et al, 1994) liquids. However, it is unlikely that the minute amounts of spiked water added would have affected the bulk properties sufficiently to produce the effects observed through this mechanism.…”

“…To examine the limitations of this conceptual model, comparisons are made with measurements of the effect of using a commercial antistatic additive [15]. This experimental approach showed promise to increase the production of effective electrons, i.e.…”

Recent work shows that the range of morphology of anode streamers in liquid dielectric breakdown is predicted when it is represented as stochastic growth of a branching fractal tree. This model may be analogous to the critical volume model of breakdown used in gases. Assuming there is a relationship, leads to a concept of how affecting the electron production and recombination rates in a fluid can affect streamer behavior. These concepts were tested by measuring the effect on streamer behavior due to adding a commercial antistatic additive to toluene. The results were consistent with the concepts of the model but insufficient to define the limits of the model's applicability.

“…(2) The substance whose molecular structure is originally conductive, such as conducting polymer, can be used to prepare antistatic materials [9][10][11][12]. (3) Antistatic agents, such as nonionic surfactants or hydrophilic substance, can be added to the surface of products, or blended into raw materials to form antistatic composites [13][14][15].…”

Antistatic composites of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and tetrapod-shaped ZnO whisker (ZnOw), the surface of which was treated with a coupling agent, were prepared by melt-mixing using a twin screw extruder. The structure and morphology of the blends were examined by FTIR and SEM. Antistatic performance and the effect of ZnOw loading levels were investigated. The conductive mechanism of PET/ZnOw composites is presented, which can be classified into tunnel effect, discharging effect at the pinpoint and conductive network. The simple formula of critical volume fraction (v c ) for ZnOw forming conductive network is proposed, based on the actual processing conduction. Comparison of the theory value to the experimental data showed a close agreement.
