Popis: An investigation is reported that describes the effect of polyethylene oxides and polyethoxylated amines on the antistatic properties of wool. Polyethylene oxides were found to lower the electrical resistance of wool, with a maximum reduction occurring for a polyethylene oxide molecular weight of 600. However, as the time after treatment increases, the electrical resistance of wool treated with polyethylene oxide also increases. Several primary amines were ethoxylated, and the products were found to be effective in reducing the electrical resistance of wool. Alkyl chain length and the degree of the ethoxylation had little effect on the performance of these ethoxylated amines. The antistatic effect observed for the ethoxylated amines was not dependent on time.
