Improving Electrical Properties Of Polypropylene/Gnp Composites Using Compatibilizer And Solvent-Assisted Melt Blending, Yazan Al Jawhari

Undergraduate Student Research Internships Conference

Over the past few years, polymer products have become essential to our lives. Many people may think that polymers are simply plastics, however, that is just the tip of the iceberg. Polymer products are used in food, sport, medical, and technological industries. There have been numerous applications in all these areas, but in the technological industry, electronic devices, in particular, are affected by electrostatic discharge (ESD) generated by friction during handling, packaging, or transportation. This requires the use of antistatic packaging, a special package that has low electrical resistivity in order to avoid electron accumulation.
