Patents Assigned to Skeptikos Technology, Inc.
  • Conductive polymers and method of preparation thereof
    Patent number: 4990581
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a compound that can be reacted with a polymer resin to form the conductive polymer. More particularly, the present invention relates to a tetraalkylammonium acrylate that can be reacted with a convention acrylic resin to form a stable, conductive polymer that will conduct electricity but is impermeable to liquids.The tetraalkylammonium acrylate has the following general structure: ##STR1## wherein: R.sub.1, R.sub.2 R.sub.3, and R.sub.4 are alkyl groups of from 3 to 18 carbon atoms; andR.sub.5 is a hydrogen or an alkyl group of from 1 to 3 carbon atoms.The conductive polymer of the present invention is suitable for use as the electricity conducting barrier in reference electrodes.
