Abstract

The present work aims to investigate the effect of blending polyethylene (PE) fibers by polyurethane fibers (PU), polyamide textile (PA) and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) yarns to compensate the negative charge of PE by positive one of blending polymers. Besides, conducting materials such as thin copper wires, carbon fibers and aluminium film ribbons were tested as fillers to conduct the charges between fibers. Three groups of the proposed fibers were tested; PE, PU and copper wires, PE, PA and carbon fibers (CF) and PE, PMMA and Al film.
 
The experiments revealed that Cu wires associated with PE and PU caused drastic decrease in ESC. It seems that Cu wires conducted the positive and negative charges generated on the surfaces of PU and PE respectively and consequently the resultant value decreased.  Further drop in ESC generated on the tested fibers containing PE, CF and PA textile as well as PE, Al film and PMMA showed minimum values indicating the efficiency of CF and Al film ribbons to transfer and exchange the charges from PE to PU and PMMA. This observation is promising in the application of the proposed fibers as artificial turf in kid gardens and sport yards.
