PTFE-based antistatic coatings by incorporating modified carbon black

A kind of antistatic coatings which were applied to nonconductive surfaces were prepared with Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) as matrix, modified carbon black (CB) as conductive filler. Compared to sodium dodecyl sulfate, poly(vinyl pyrrolidone), the TMN-10 modified CB has better wettability, dispersion, stability and re-disperse. When CB_TMN-10content is 5 wt.%, the surface resistivity of coating reach to 10⁶Ω*cm, which denotes the coating performance good antistatic behavior. The antistatic coating of 5 wt.% CB_TMN-10content is found to exhibit excellent hydrophobicity and high HV hardness. Meanwhile, the low average friction coefficients and wear rate were achieved in antistatic coating of 5 wt.% CB_TMN-10content. Furthermore, compared to MXene, reduced graphene oxide, carbon nanotube, the modified CB as conductive material in PTFE antistatic materials could be an useful way not only excellent properties but also large-scale production as well as a reduction in unit cost in antistatic materials.
