An aqueous dispersion of carbon black is crucial in industrial coatings. In this manuscript, a hyperdispersant IBOMA-MPEGA-DMAM (IMD) has been synthesized using isobornyl methacrylate (IBOMA), polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether acrylate (MPEGA), and N, N -dimethyl acrylamide (DMAM) as monomers via a free radical polymerization method, which is used to improve the dispersibility of an aqueous dispersion system of carbon black. The molecular structure and performance stability of IMD were investigated through comprehensive characterizations of FTIR, GPC, particle size distribution and TEM. When the molar ratio of the monomers IBOMA:MEPGA:DMAM is 5.5:8.3:9.7, the obtained hyperdispersant shows good dispersibility. When the optimal dosage of dispersant IMD was 8%, the viscosity of carbon black slurry was as low as 18.6 mPa·s and the average particle size of carbon black was 275 nm. Furthermore, the stability of the prepared carbon black slurry was better than that of the two commercial dispersants.

By free radical polymerizing methylacrylylethyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (DMC), styrene (ST), and methoxy polyethylene glycol acrylate (MPEGA), a novel type of hydrophilic polymer antistatic agent (PDSM) was created. By utilizing FT-IR and 1 H NMR, the structure and properties of the PDSM copolymer were investigated. By using the melt blending approach, composites made of ABS (acrylonitrile-styrene-butadiene copolymer)/PDSM were generated. The composites’ mechanical characteristics and surface resistivity were measured. The results indicated that PDSM was evenly dispersed on the inner surface of ABS resin, resulting in a continuous conductive network, and serving the intended function of long-lasting antistatic. The surface resistance of ABS composites could be greatly decreased using the PDSM copolymer antistatic agent. Surface resistivity of ABS/PDSM composites were around 10 9 -10 10 Ω when the proportion of PDSM copolymer was up to 15 wt%. As MPEGA concentration increased, the surface resistivity of ABS/PDSM materials declined because MPEGA comprised hydrophilic ether bonds and flexible side chains.
