Abstract

The extensive use of PE fibers in artificial turf necessitates to study their electrification when they rub rubber surface. Electrostatic charge (ESC) generated from the contact and separation as well as sliding of rubber against PE turf was discussed in the present work. Experiments were carried out to measure the generated ESC under varying load at dry and water wet surfaces.
 
It was found that using metallic substrates like copper and steel sheets rubber surface gained higher values of ESC than  that measured for PE fibers. The high value of ESC measured for rubber and PE fibers increases the adhesion between skin and turf and consequently increases severity of injury. The very low values of ESC generated from contact and separation as well as sliding recommends using water on the contact surfaces. Besides, the material of the substrate of PE fibers strongly influences ESC. It is recommeded to perform more experiments to properly introduce new material of relatively low ESC in that application.
