Nano-ZnO was prepared by direct precipitation method with zinc chloride and sodium carbonate anhydrous as raw materials, and its particle size and dispersion were characterized by TEM. The effects of concentration and the ratio of reactants and reaction temperature on its dispersion in aqueous solution were analyzed and the best reaction conditions were as follows: reaction temperature 60 , ult...

Abstract A novel ammonium salt type polymeric antistatic agent (PDSH) was synthesized from methacrylatoethyl trimethyl chloride, styrene, and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate via radical polymerization. Antistatic poly(acrylonitrile- co -butadiene- -styrene) (ABS)/PDSH composites were prepared by blending PDSH with ABS resin. The results showed that the surface resistivity of ABS/PDSH addition decre...

BACKGROUND Aerosols generated from metered dose inhalers may be highly charged. The aim of this study was to determine whether lining the walls of a polycarbonate spacer device with an antistatic agent would result in an increase in drug output. The effects of multiple actuations of drug into the spacer device and increasing residence time of drug within the spacer were also determined. METHO...

In the past, nurses’ cotton uniforms have been implicated in the spread of microorganisms and this led to the widespread use of disposable plastic aprons. However, plastic is notorious in acquiring static electric charge which is able to attract airborne micro-organisms. In this study, five different types of ordinary and antistatic nurses’ plastic aprons were tested both electrostatically and ...

A human body is occasionally electrified in a room. This charged object will be a source of electrostatic accidents, including the malfunction of electronic equipment. Hence, prevention of these accidents is required. Accidents occasionally occur, even though antistatic clothes and shoes are used. One of the causes for these accidents is that there is a lack of the preventive measures. This sit...
