Problems may appear in both the structural stability and the stability of the electrical conductivity of the polyaniline complex. Since in the polymer melt-mixing step the temperature must be raised above the thermal resistance limit of the doped polyaniline complex, destruction of the polymer blend will follow within a very short time. For example, the typical processing temperature of PNC is within the range 165 °C - 180 °C.

  • dry mixing is meant the mixing of the components with each other in high-speed mixers, which include friction mixers, which typically have a cooling mantle by means of which excessive elevation of the temperature during mixing can be prevented.
  • Examples of the use of carbon black in the form of a softener dispersion in a PNC matrix include US patent publications 4 976 890 and 5 066 422. In the methods described in these publications, a preliminary blend (softener, carbon black and stabilizers) is com ⁇ bined with a porous PVC resin.

  • composition disclosed in EP patent publication 539 936 comprises a thermoplastic polymer and, as the conductive material, a short fiber derived from carbon or germanium. These can be combined by dry mixing or by compounding the mixture in, for example, an extruder.
  • US patent publication 5 217 649 discloses a plastics blend in which the conductive polymer, such as polyaniline, is dispersed in a matrix plastic which contains a sulfonamide softener. What is in question is thus not a dry blend of an electrically conductive polymer and a matrix plastic.

This is followed by a cooling to prevent agglomeration of the carrier particles.
  • This publication does not describe the use of a conductive polymer in the blend.
  • a further example of dry mixing is US patent publication 4 889 673, which describes a dry-mixing process for a suspension PNC to be used for extrusion molding, a softener, stabilizer and pigments by using a mixer having a high shear force.
  • the temperature during mixing is maintained below 165 °C, preferably the mixing temperature is 80 °C - 110 °C, i.e. the temperature must be well below the melting temperature of PNC, which is 170 °C.
  • the blend thus obtained is kneaded and pelleted by extrusion.
  • the process according to this publication includes neither the use of conductive particles in the preparation of the blend nor the mixing of different polymers with each other.
  • the polyaniline is dispersed in the matrix, and no results regarding this dispersion remaining a homogenous material are disclosed. Furthermore, it is important to note that no pH values of the polyaniline-matrix dispersion are presented, and it can be assumed that they are acid compositions. The polyaniline used in these blends it not a doped and plasticized, substantially neutral polyaniline.
  • An object of the present invention is thus to provide an electrically well conductive plastics blend prepared by dry-mixing techniques, in which blend the conductive com ⁇ ponent is a polyaniline complex doped with a protonic acid and containing a plasticizing agent, and the matrix polymer consists of one or several commonly used matrix plastics, and which blend is suitable for being further processed by conventional plastics processing methods.
  • Another object of the invention is a plastics blend in which better electrical conductivities are achieved with a lower content of conductive polymer and in which the conductivity withstands the processing of the blend into the desired end products.
  • the mixing together of a matrix polymer and a conductive polymer complex may, instead of compounding in molten state, be conducted by dry mixing the components with each other in a dry mixer the temperature of which can be adjusted and by selecting a suitable plasticizer for the polyaniline.
  • the mixing must be carried out at so low a temperature that thermal decomposition of the polymer will not occur, but at such a temperature that a dry blend according to the invention, having the properties stated above, will be formed. This can be done by selecting a suitable com ⁇ pound which plasticizes the doped polyaniline.
  • An electrically conductive dry blend which contains a protonic acid doped polyaniline and a matrix polymer/matrix polymers is thus characterized in what is stated in the characterizing clause of Claim 1.
  • the preparation of an electrically conductive dry blend according to the invention is thus based on the fact that, when the plasticizer melts on the complex particle during mixing, the temperature being below 125 °C, preferably below 120 °C, the complex particle easily adheres to the surface of a matrix polymer particle, and thereby a dust-free dry plastics blend which is easy to handle is produced. Furthermore, separation of matrix polymer particles and complex particles, due to a weight and size difference, is prevented. It can be said that the molten plasticizer serves as if as a "glue" between the complex particles and the matrix polymer particles in the blend. It is important that the plasticizer is selected so that its melting temperature is so low that thermal decomposition of the polymer will not occur.
  • the compound used as the plasticizer must thus be a compound which is capable of plasticizing the conductive polyaniline at a temperature lower than the plasticization temperature of the matrix polymer.
  • the plasticization temperatures of the polymer complex and the matrix polymer are very close to each other, i.e. the differences are below an order of 10 °C, the conse ⁇ quence is that the conductive polymer complex and the matrix polymer will blend physico- chemically with each other, the result not being a dry blend.
  • a dry blend according to the invention is thus prepared at a temperature at which thermal decomposition of the conductive polyaniline does not occur but at which its plasticization can take place. These requirements are fulfilled when the mixing takes place at a tempera ⁇ ture below 125 °C, preferably below 120 °C, but above 80 °C.
  • the lower limit for the temperature is, of course, determined by the melting range of the plasticizer.
  • Suitable plasticizers, which melt and plasticize the polyaniline in a complex at a temperature below 120 °C and by means of which the desired properties of a plastics blend, stated earlier in this specification, are accomplished include sulfonic acid derivatives, most preferably dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid, together with a zinc compound, preferably zinc oxide.
  • the melting properties of the plasticizer are exploited, which further affect the plasticization of the polymer.
  • the plas ⁇ ticization can also be described by the viscosity difference of the polymers so that the plasticized polymer complex has a lower viscosity than has the matrix polymer.
  • the mixing of the conductive polymer complex and the matrix polymer is preferably carried out in high-speed mixers, one such mixer being the so-called friction mixer, in which the temperature rises during mixing but excessive rising of its temperature can be prevented by means of a cooling mantle in the mixer.
  • the matrix polymer particles and the polyaniline complex particles may be: a) of equal size b) the matrix polymer particles larger than the complex particles or c) the matrix polymer particles smaller than the complex particles.
  • the particles are evenly mixed in the dry blend.
  • the complex particles coat the matrix polymer particles, and in case c) the matrix polymer particles for their part coat the complex particles.
  • An improvement of the homogeneity of the blend is thus a significant advantage in the process according to the invention,
  • An advantageous conductivity network structure is already formed in a dry blend prepared according to the invention, and this structure will not substantially change in conventional processing screws designed for the melting and homogenization of plastics.

  • the performer of the processing can thus add to this dry blend material, depending on the intended use, a necessary amount of a matrix polymer, such as polyolef ⁇ ns or PNC for example in the form of plastic granulates or powder, softeners, stabilizers, pigments, and other desired additives.
  • the additives may be added to the blend either during its preparation or to the completed blend.
