Abstract:Contact electrification is a universal phenomenon that commonly occurs in almost every solid-solid contact pair. The tribo-charges deposited on two surfaces by contact electrification can significantly affect adhesion; however, contact electrification is often overlooked in the study of adhesive contact. Here, we develop an analytical model to investigate electroadhesion during the contact phase between two initially uncharged dielectric surfaces, namely, an elastic parabolic surface and a rigid flat. A system… Show more
