Abstract
Nylon and polypropylene surfaces were treated with three different finishes (nonionic, cationic, and anionic) at four different solution concentrations (weight percentage of active finish to solution), 0.025%, 0.05%, 0.075%, and 0.1%. Contact electrification tests showed that charge accumulated on polypropylene decreased as the concentration of nonionic and anionic solutions increased, and charge could be controlled when the concentration reached 0.1%. The same effect was realized when the concentration of the cationic solution was only 0.025%. No contact charging was observed on nylon after treating with any solutions. Rubbing electrification (tribo‐charging) of nylon treated with the nonionic solution showed that charge decreased as the solution concentration increased, and no charge was observed as the solution concentration reached 0.1%. Furthermore, no tribo‐charging of nylon was observed at any level of the cationic or anionic agents applied to the surface.
