Abstract :
Surfactant coatings and inherently dissipative polymer (IDP) alloys have been investigated previously, but few comparisons have been made. Here, purity and electrical properties of various surfactant coatings were tested and then compared with several IDP alloys. Surfactants and IDP alloys showed similar purity, electrical performance, and a weak humidity dependence.
