Abstract

The aim of this study is to develop a new material for reducing electrostatic charge (ESC) generated from the walking of polypropylene shoes against polymeric floor in hospitals. Stainless steel strips have been adhered to the back of two proposed polymeric floor materials (A & B). It has been observed that the ESC increased by increasing the number of stainless steel strips. Although the strips were grounded, ESC has increased, due to charging by induction. On other hand the grounded strips decreased the friction coefficientby 4 % and 5 %in dry sliding and water/chlorine wet sliding respectively.
