Poly(p‐styrene sulfonate‐co‐acrylic acid sodium) (PSA) from the copolymerization of acrylic acid sodium and p‐styrene sulfonate monomers were used to dope poly(3,4‐ethylene dioxythiophene) (PEDOT) to generate PEDOT–PSA antistatic dispersions. Compared to those of the PEDOT–poly(p‐styrene sulfonate sodium) (PSS), the physical and electrical properties of the PEDOT–PSA conductive liquids were much better. The PEDOT–PSA films possessed a better water resistance without a decrease in the conductivity. The sheet resistance of the PEDOT–PSA–poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) films was about 1.5 × 104 Ω/sq with a 100 nm thickness, the same as the PEDOT–PSS–PET films. The transmittance of the PEDOT–PSA–PET films exceeded 88%. Furthermore, the environmental dispersity of the PEDOT–PSA antistatic dispersion was apparently improved by the dopant PSA so that the stability was extraordinarily promoted. Meanwhile, the water resistances of the PEDOT–PSA–PET and PEDOT–PSA films were also enhanced. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2017, 134, 45163.
