Abstract
The present invention relates to a compound that can be reacted with a polymer resin to form the conductive polymer. More particularly, the present invention relates to a tetraalkylammonium acrylate that can be reacted with a conventional acrylic resin to form a stable, conductive polymer that will conduct electricity but is impermeable to liquids.
The tetraalkylammonium acrylate has the following general structure: ##STR1## wherein: R1, R2, R3, and R4 are alkyl groups of from 3 to 18 carbon atoms; and
R5 is a hydrogen or an alkyl group of from 1 to 3 carbon atoms.
The conductive polymer of the present invention is suitable for use as the electricity conducting barrier in reference electrodes.
