Study on antistatic property of PAN /PANI composite fiber

In this paper, antistatic property of PAN/PANI composite fiber was studied through the grafted polymerization of Polyacrylonitrile and Polyaniline (PANI). The preconditioning and the dosage of ANI influenced on the rate of bodyweight gain, breaking strength and tensile rate,mass specific resistance of the composite fiber were discussed. The mass specific resistance of conventional polyacrylonitrile fiber is 10(11)Omega.cm, the mass specific resistance of PAN/PANI composite fiber could be reduced to 10(6)-10(8)Omega.cm. It could prove that the antistatic property of PAN fiber has been greatly improved by PANI.
