Design and Processing of Electret Structures

Abstract

The objectives of this research program were to: (1) understand the nature of the charge resulting from contact electrification, (2) understand the mechanisms and fundamental limits of tribocharging, (3) develop new materials. Specifically, the goals were to establish what determine the rate of electrostatic charging and discharging in solid electrets, to understand the process by which charge transfer occurs and to explore self-assembly based on electrostatic interactions.
