Vinyl Synthetic

is what is the effect of static electricity on different materials of fabric?

I am doing a science fair project school and I've looked everywhere for backup to my hypothesis ... I'm hoping someone reeeeallly knows the answer. My assumption is that if the material is synthetic fabric, it would do the most static electricity. Is this true? My experience is tissue synthetic or natural fabrics. All my fabric materials include: Polyester Cotton Wool Silk Linen Nylon vinyl-acrylic Out of such material that conducts electricity the most static. I just need another person to support my hypothesis and I can perform the experiment. Thank you:)

Here a list of the triboelectric series I have compiled from the links below. Sections at the end of the list to develop the highest positive charges and negative. Those in the center does not develop load. Most of your fabrics are on this list. Most electropositive positive (lose electrons) Asbestos air rights in skin leather rabbit fur acetate mica glass quartz steel man nylon wool fur fur fur cat lead Aluminum silk paper (slightly positive) Cotton (toll free) (toll free) wood (small negative) amber lucite acrylic resins sealing wax polystyrene rubber ball hard rubber mylar nickel, copper and brass sulfur, silver, stainless steel, UV resistant gold acetate platinum, polyester rayon celluloid synthetic rubber polystyrene (polystyrene, plastic # 6, Bic pens) Orlon acrylic rubber ball saran cellophane Wrap tape (polyvinylidene chloride chloride) polyethylene polyester polyurethane (tape) polypropylene polyvinyl (PVC, vinyl) silicon F KEL (this may mean silicone. Dow Silicones are entirely negative. GE Silicones are slightly positive) Teflon silicone rubber Ebonite most negative affinity greater for electron electronegative Note.: Use the triboelectric series such as that illustrated above with caution. The ability of a material gain or lose electrons is linked to several physical factors, including material and surface conductivity and surface microscopic contact area between the two elements of charge. In addition, many materials are not pure, and impurities in or on the material change may be electrical in nature. Even nearby objects can affect the load transfer. We found tables with acrylic being positive and negative. The acrylic rods that we are more positive than negative. But do not be surprised if acrylic, for example, gains negative charge instead positive. Sometimes a material is in a slightly different position on different lists. Transparent tape can generate a charge separation alone, since one side is made of plastic and the other side has an adhesive that is peeled the tape is unwound. Denouement band can generate voltages up to 20,000 volts! adhesive forces cause the transfer of electrons, no friction. Rub the surface involves frequent contact and separation. Your assumption may be partially true. How easily a substance gains or loses electrons depends, in part, on what atoms it comprises. Teflon, for example, has a lot of fluorine is very electronegative atom. Synthetic materials are more likely contain elements that are used in ways not usually found in nature. The presence of double bonds and aromatic rings would probably effect as well.
