Abstract: A U.V. curable composition for application to a substrate surface to provide a static dissipative coating which comprises a conductive matrix constituent having a crown type ligand selected from the group consisting of podands, coronands and cryptands in a guest/host relationship with a conductive dopant moiety. Such ligands included those provided by functionalized podands and functionalized coronands. The formulation further includes a polymer matrix constituent formed of a base oligomer system and a crosslinking agent which is reactive with the base oligomer system to form a crosslinked resin matrix which incorporates the conductive matrix constituent. A low viscosity diluent functions as a solvating liquid for the crosslinking agent and the base oligomer system. The formulation further includes a photoinitiator of the free radical or cationic type to initiate polymerization of the composition upon the application of electromagnetic radiation in the ultraviolet range.
