Abstract
Compositions containing conductivity enhancers, which are capable of being coated onto a substrate by means of electrostatic assistance. The compositions comprise one or more free-radically curable monomer(s), and one or more non-volatile conductivity enhancer(s), having cationic and anionic portions, which are soluble in the monomer(s) and which do not interfere with free-radical polymerization, wherein said anionic portion is a non-coordinating organophilic carbon-containing anion. The compositions may further comprise one or more initiator(s), one or more dissociation enhancing agent(s), cross-linking agent(s), cationically polymerizable monomer(s), cationic initiator(s), leveling agents, oligomer(s) or polymer(s), preferably co-reactive, and other additives or adjuvants to impart specific properties to the cured coating.
