Abstract

Conductive inks have been exploited to print flexible and conductive pathways on the surface of insulators, offering promising applications in chemical engineering, electronics, and sensors. However, their development and large-scale production are hindered by complex preparation processes, high-cost conductive fillers, and use of toxic solvents. In this study, we present a greener one-pot synthesis of water-based conductive composite latex by using polypyrrole (PPy) as the conductive filler and carboxylated styrene butadiene rubber (XSBR) as the flexible binder, aimed at sustainable manufacturing. The resulting XSBR/PPy latex, requiring no post-treatment, demonstrates good storage stability and can be easily applied onto various flat and curved substrates including plastic, glass, rubber, and balloon, exhibiting a conductivity of approximately 2 × 10⁻³ S/cm and an excellent surface adhesion. Its low cost, ease of synthesis, and scalability make it a good candidate as a conductive ink and antistatic material in the field of polymer applications.

期刊介绍： The aim of this international journal is to analyse and publicise the progress and current state of knowledge in the field of organic coatings and related materials. The Editors and the Editorial Board members will solicit both review and research papers from academic and industrial scientists who are actively engaged in research and development or, in the case of review papers, have extensive experience in the subject to be reviewed. Unsolicited manuscripts will be accepted if they meet the journal''s requirements. The journal publishes papers dealing with such subjects as: • Chemical, physical and technological properties of organic coatings and related materials • Problems and methods of preparation, manufacture and application of these materials • Performance, testing and analysis.
