Process for the preparation of a processable, conductive, colloidal polymer

摘要

The invention relates to a process for the preparation of a dispersion of a processable, conductive, colloidal polymer in an aqueous reaction medium. A polymer emulsion diluted with aqueous medium is used as steric stabiliser for aromatic heterocyclic monomers during the preparation of the colloidal polymer. The colloidal polymer prepared is further dispersed in a solvent which is miscible with the steric stabiliser. The dispersion can be coated onto a nonconductive substrate in order to metallise the substrate, and it can also be used as an antistatic coating for plastics and fibres.
