“…While the introduction of a small amount of surfactant solves this problem, its main drawback is the long-term instability associated with its leakage. [6][7][8][9][10] Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) resin has been widely used for light illuminating devices, signboards, construction, and accessories, because of its high transparency, high surface gloss, and good thermal and mechanical properties. 11,12 However, the surface of PMMA can be readily damaged by the adsorption of environmental dirt and impurities, as it is easily charged electrically due to its high surface resistance.…”

A simple and economic antistatic agent, (2-methacryloyloxyethyl)acid phosphate (acryl phosphate), was synthesized via the reaction of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate with phosphorus pentoxide. The acryl phosphate antistatic agent, synthesized in this study, was introduced into poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) resin via copolymerization with MMA. This antistatic agent provides the PMMA matrix with excellent antistatic properties, including surface resistance and electric charge. A comparison of the present antistatic agent with other commercial agents demonstrated the excellence of not only its electrical, but also its thermal and mechanical properties.
