Triboelectric rank

Table 7.2. Triboelectric rank of some nonmetallic materials...

The possibility of ranking polymers in a self-consistent way for the purposes of predicting the relative direction of charge transfer when any two of them are allowed to make contact with each other has been recognised for a long time, and many so-called triboelectric series, obtained in an empirical way, have been published. The physical basis for such series is now evident.
