Abstract

Slide electrification experiments were performed on low-density polyethylene films ( PE ) and PE sprayed with five amphiphilic compounds, including antistatic and slip additives. Drops of aqueous solutions were delivered on the films and after sliding spontaneously acquired a net electrical charge ( Q drop ), which is dependent on the pH and ionic strength. The slide electrification was detected in pristine PE films and those with five additives. An acid–base equilibrium model, based on the adsorption of hydroxides and protons on surface sites, accounted for the dependence of Q drop on pH, allowing recovery of the acid–base equilibrium constants and the density of adsorption sites. The model was modified to account for ionic strength effects through activity factors. The surface conductivity, wettability, and friction coefficients were strongly modified by the additives. However, the observed trends are different from those observed in slide electrification, which better correlated with zeta potential determinations. This suggests that the interaction mechanisms among surface water, the considered additives, and the polymer, which are involved in slide electrification and the generation of zeta potential, are different from those associated with other surface processes involving surface water. Although additives are required for changing surface resistivity, friction coefficients, and wettability, the generation of sliding electrical charges in polyethylene is a spontaneous and highly effective process. For one specific additive, a simultaneous decrease in friction coefficients, zeta potential, and Q drop was observed, assigned to the blockade of hydroxide adsorption sites and water repulsion by the compound.
