Abstract

The present study aims to decrease electrostatic charge (ESC) generated on polyethylene (PE) turf fibers by blending by suitable conductor such as copper (Cu) textile. Besides, the rubber counterface was replaced by conducting material such as aluminium (Al) film.
 
It was found that PE fibers blended by Cu textile showed drastic decrease in ESC generated on the surfaces of both rubber and PE fibers. The lowest ESC values were recorded when Cu substrate replaced PE substrate.  Besides, when rubber was replaced by Al film, ESC generated on the mating surfaces recorded the lower values. It seems that, when PE fibers were charged by friction with rubber, Cu textile and Al film, the electrons from the rubbing surfaces are redistributed and transferred. This behavior could be assisted by the performance of Cu textile that conducted negative ESC generated on PE to the rubber surface and consequently decreased its gained positive ESC. On the other side, copper textile conducted the excess electrons and redistributed on PE fibers.
 
It is recommended to apply conducting material to coat rubber to transfer and redistribute ESC from PE fibers to Cu textile and reduce its accumulation on the rubber surface. This behavior can decrease the risk of ESC transmitted to the human body and avoid electric shock.
