Abstract

The effect of reinforcing polyethylene (PE) by copper wires on the generation of the electrostatic charge (ESC) when slid against polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polypropylene (PP), and polyamide (PA) is investigated. Tests have been carried out at dry sliding.
 
It was found that, reinforcing PE by carbon fibres and metallic wires sliding against PA recorded relatively higher values of ESC than that observed for unreinforced PE. Steel wires showed the highest values followed by carbon fibres while the lowest values were displayed by  copper wires. That behviour can be interpretted on the basis that the double layer of the electrostatic charge (ESC) generated on the sliding surfaces of PE and PA would generate an E-field inside the matrix of PE. Presence of carbon fibres or metallic wires inside PE matrix would generate extra electrostatic charge on the sliding surfaces.
 
ESC generated from PE reinforced by copper wires sliding against PA increased with increasing wire diameter. It seems that the intensity of the E-field increased with increasing the copper diameter due to the increase of electric current flowing through the wire leading to the increase of the E-field.
