Fibron Technologies - Conducting Polymers

Polyaniline nanofiber dispersions allow easy coating or deposition on a charged surface with high transmission properties. These conductive coatings have application potential in antistatics and electrostatic charge dissipation as well as electromagnetic interference shielding. Thin films remain conductive and can have very high transparency.

Deposition Techniques for Polyaniline Nanofiber Coatings Include:

• Direct casting of the solution onto a substrate, using a doctor blade to distribute the material evenly over a surface to create films similar to the film shown above (upper, left).
• Self-assembly of an ultra-thin layer of polyaniline nanofibers onto a charged surface. This technique requires a negatively charged surface for the conductive form of polyaniline nanofibers, or a positively charged surface for the insulating form.
• Spin-coating to make uniform films is achievable with some formulations. These formulations are typically polymer composite solutions with high viscosities.
• Spray-coating for larger scale coating applications, such as corrosion protection.
• Other direct applications of our polyaniline nanofibers, including brush or roll application, print application through an inkjet printer (such as the Diamatix Materials Printer) are also possible with our dispersions and inks.
• We can also deposit films of conducting polymer nanostructures on your desired substrate. You can either supply us with your substrate, or request a specific material, and we will work with you to meet your desired specifications.
