  • Abstract
    Triboelectrification between a variety of woods and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is studied. The saturation charge developed on a PTFE sphere rolling on inclined planes of 11 different commercially available woods was measured. The results suggest that the saturation charge levels are positively correlated with the area of contact.
