What fabric produces static electricity? Revealing the 10 most easy-to-activate materials and coping methods
Static electricity is a common phenomenon in life, especially in the dry season, when clothes of different materials are rubbed, they are prone to static electricity. This article combines popular topics and scientific data on the entire network for the past 10 days to analyze which fabrics are prone to static electricity and provides practical solutions.
1. Why are some fabrics prone to static electricity?
Static electrostatic generation is mainly related to the hygroscopicity and conductivity of the fibers. Natural fibers usually have good hygroscopicity and are not easy to accumulate static electricity; while synthetic fibers have poor hygroscopicity and electrons are prone to accumulate on the surface, resulting in more obvious static electricity.
| Cloth type | Static generation index | Common uses |
|---|---|---|
| Polyester (polyester fiber) | ★★★★★ | Sportswear, jacket, curtains |
| Acrylic (artificial wool) | ★★★★☆ | Sweater, blanket, wig |
| nylon | ★★★★ | Socks, swimsuits, outdoor equipment |
| Spandex (Lycra) | ★★★☆ | Tights, underwear, sportswear |
| wool | ★★★ | Coats, sweaters, scarves |
| silk | ★★☆ | Shirts, pajamas, tie |
| cotton | ★★ | T-shirts, jeans, bed sheets |
| flax | ★☆ | Summer clothing, tablecloths |
| Bamboo fiber | ★ | Underwear, towels, socks |

5. 3 cold knowledge about static electricity
1. The human body's static voltage can reach more than 10,000 volts, but the current is extremely small and will not cause harm.
2. The spacecraft's special coatings can prevent static electricity and avoid discharge damage to equipment in space environments.
3. The printer uses electrostatic principle to make toner adsorb in specific locations of the paper.
By understanding the electrostatic characteristics of different fabrics, we can better choose clothing matching and take protective measures. Share your anti-static tips and say goodbye to the trouble of "electric shock" together!
