Contact De-electrification of Electrostatically Charged Polymers [PDF]
Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2012 The contact electrification of insulating organic polymers is still incompletely understood, in part because multiple fundamental mechanisms may contribute to the movement of charge. This study describes a mechanism previously unreported in the context of contact electrification: that is, "contact de-electrification", a process in which polymers ...
