The investigation of antistatic effects of 1-ethyl-2,3-dimethylimidazolium ethyl sulphate for acrylic-based polymer film

Abstract

This study aims to produce a long-term antistatic acrylic-based film by incorporating ionic liquid (IL), 1-ethyl-2,3-dimethylimidazolium ethyl sulphate (EIL) into acrylic resin. After loading, characterisations of samples were conducted by mechanically, thermally and morphologically. In order to determine antistatic properties, surface resistivity of samples was measured by using at different time intervals. The results indicated that IL loaded polymers showed a good antistatic property for a long time. The effect of incorporation on tensile strength, tensile modulus, flexural strength and flexural modulus of polymer were also obtained. After loading process, tensile strength, tensile modulus, flexural strength and flexural modulus values decreased considerably. The decrement in tensile strength of polymer is much less than that in flexural strength. The effect of EIL incorporation into acrylic resin on thermal conductivity and surface wettability was also investigated. From scanning electron microscopy images, EIL particles in nano-size range were observed in polymer structure.

Improving water resistance and mechanical properties of waterborne acrylic resin modified by 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethyl-4,4′-biphenyl diglycidyl ether

“…And the increase of tensile strength is generally accompanied by the sacrifice of flexibility [62]. It is known that the tensile strength and the elongation at break of waterborne acrylic resin modified by Jiao et al [53] Moreover, Seki et al [64] prepared acrylic resin modified with 1-ethyl-2, 3-dimethylimidazole ethyl sulfate, its tensile strength was 3.10 MPa. Mostafa et al [65] prepared acrylic resin modified with chitosan nanoparticles, its tensile strength was 1.51 MPa.…”

“…Most ILs are electroconductive, which can serve as antistatic agents in polymers . For example, the surface resistivity of the acrylic resin decreased from 3.03 × 10 14 to 6.87 × 10 10 Ω by the incorporation of 0.5 g of 1‐ethyl‐2,3‐dimethyl imidazolium ethyl sulfate . Tsurumaki et al .…”
