CHEMICAL MODIFICATION PROCESS OF A POLYMERIC ARTICLE WITH A VIEW TO GIVE IT ANTISTATIC PROPERTIES OR TO IMPROVE THESE PROPERTIES

A process for chemically modifying a polymeric part in order to impart antistatic properties thereto or to improve these properties, comprising the following steps: a step of reacting a polymeric part comprising at least one polymer comprising, as reactive groups, amine groups and/or hydroxyl groups, with a functional compound, also called first compound, comprising at least one isocyanate group and at least one heterocyclic type polymerisable group, the isocyanate groups covalently reacting with all or part of the amine groups and/or hydroxyl groups of the polymer(s), whereby this results in a polymeric part that is covalently bonded to residues of the functional compound; from the heterocyclic type polymerisable groups of the residues of the functional compound, a step of polymerising a second compound comprising at least one heterocyclic type polymerisable group in the presence of a metal complex, the reaction step and the polymerisation step being carried out in the presence of at least one supercritical fluid.
