| Abstract | ||||
| Electrostatic charges caused by the rubbing of technical materials have a negative effect on their applications. The increasing employ of polymeric materials confirm the interested in studying this effect. Electrostatic charges that build up on human body and/or are carried out of direct contact with the human skin are highly hurtful and can reason critical health problems. Textile electrification is the main factors that appropriate the goodness of cloths. The textile electrostatic charge can be predominately valued by the contact of human skin to feeling the shock. Voltage produced from electrification of the fabric by sliding against car padding materials (synthetic leather), poly vinyl chloride (PVC) and cotton should not exceed certain limit to avoid serious health problems. In the present work, electric static charge generated from the friction of textile sliding against three different types of counter face materials has been measured. The quality of the textile fiber can be influenced by the amount of the electrostatic charge stored on the textile surface, where lower static values are better quality. For cotton textiles sliding on leather, the electrostatic charge and the friction coefficient increase with increasing normal load. The electrostatic charge of the acrylic textile sliding against the PVC shows the maximum values. Coefficient of friction decreases with increasing normal load for acrylic textile. | ||||
