[technical field]
The present invention relates to electrically conductive composition and Preparation equipment thereof, methods and applications, particularly a kind of composition of the high conductivity that contains PBT/ASA that conducts electricity level and Preparation equipment thereof, methods and applications.
[background technology]
Be applied at present the conductive rollers (material strengthens PBT for conduction) on financial instrument (as: paper money counter) and laser printer, basically by the PBT resin, add graphite, metal powder, conductive carbon black, carbon fiber, carbon nanotube etc. wherein one or more hybrid conductive media obtain, wherein graphite, metal powder, conductive carbon black, because addition large (10~20%) causes toughness of material bad, easily ftracture; Carbon fiber causes the cost performance of material unreasonable because unit price is expensive;
And carbon nanotube (CNT), the Nano-graphite Crystals of tubulose, be the single or multiple lift graphite flake around central shaft by the curling seamless nano level pipe formed of certain helix angle, the C of every layer is SP2 hydridization, forms the cylindrical surface on hexagon plane; Due to its unique electricity, optics and mechanical characteristics, carbon nanotube all has broad application prospects in fields such as physics, chemistry, information technology, environmental science, Materials science, energy technology, life and medical sciences; Just because of this potential value of carbon nanotube and application prospect widely, make the research of relevant carbon nano tube compound material become one of research field of greatest concern.
From current domestic disclosed patent documentation, the domestic study on the synthesis to carbon nanotube is paid special attention to, and the application and development of carbon nanotube is quite lagged behind, as patent CN102532823A, although added carbon nanotube 1~7%, the surface resistivity of material or higher (10
6~10
10Ω/sq), antistatic-level can only be belonged to, conduction level (10 can not be belonged to
0~10
5Ω/sq), trace it to its cause and be that the applied research to carbon nano tube compound material is deep not enough.
In the process of routine use paper money counter or laser printer, the phenomenon such as people often find that paper money counter occurs in high speed counting process that number is made mistakes, card machine, bill are overlapping and laser printer also there will be the phenomenons such as writing sharpness heterogeneity, hanging togother in print procedure, the conductive rollers that is paper money counter and laser printer of tracing it to its cause can produce a large amount of static electric charges with the paper friction when high speed scroll, and a large amount of static electric charges is deposited on conductive rollers and can't eliminates fast by conductive rollers, will cause above-described phenomenon to occur.The surface resistivity of the conduction rod of domestic production at present is substantially 10
6~10
10Ω/sq, belong to antistatic-level, do not reach the conduction level, and the surface resistivity of the conductive rollers of the paper money counter of external import (Japan or Germany) or laser printer is 10
3~10
4Ω/sq, belong to the conduction level, and therefore there is very large gap in the surface resistivity of at present domestic conductive rollers and imported materials and items.
