Bench-scale tribocharging of polyethylene: Role of gas type, temperature and relative humidity

Key Points

• Tribocharging efficiency varies significantly with changes in gas type and environmental conditions.
• Tests showed that at varying humidity levels, tribocharging impact on polyethylene can differ markedly.
• Analysis focused on how temperature influences the triboelectric effects during polyethylene charging processes.
• Understanding these interactions may help optimize polyethylene for various applications in material science.
