Acid-base components of solid surfaces and the triboelectric series

Abstract: Contact electrification between solids is often explained qualitatively in terms of the relative positions of the materials in the triboelectric series. It is shown that the series can be put on a quantitative basis by analysing data for the wetting, by suitable probe liquids, of individual solid surfaces. In one approach to solid surface energies the polar fraction can be split into contributions from Lewis acid (electron-acceptor) and base (electron-donor) components. Using data for solid surface energy comp… Show more

“…As pointed out by Duke, 27 Follows,28 and Brennan, 29 the polarity of net surface charge carried by polymer materials when electrified depends on the group possessed by the polymers. And Clint 30 and Veregin 31,32 observed that solid surfaces with significant Lewis basicity (as determined from contact-angle measurements or inverse gas chromatography) tended to become positively charged upon contact electrification, whereas surfaces with significant Lewis acidity tended to become negatively charged.…”

“…Della Volpe and Siboni proposed a different ratio suggesting water as acidic rather than amphoteric (Volpe and Siboni, 1997). Despite differing in absolute values, the acidity/basicity order is similar for both approaches (Clint and Dunstan, 2001). For IGC, the  + or  -values for the monopolar probes requires further validation, and the acid-base surface energy values for the solid surface only offers a description of the relative acid-base nature (Etzler, 2003;Ho and Heng, 2013).…”

“…[7][8][9] The focus in this paper is on inorganic dielectric solids; however, the effect may also play a role in the electrification of organic polymers. In polymers, the effect may be more likely to occur in parallel with other mechanisms, e.g., charge transfer between charge patches on the surfaces, [10][11][12] from surface functional groups with acid/base character, 48 from charge transfer induced by strain, 49 or by material transfer. Finally, the results provide support for charge transfer by electrons rather than ions during many instances of triboelectric charging.…”
