Abstract
An explicit model of contact‐charge exchange in polymers is proposed in which the steady‐state exchanged charge resides in intrinsic molecular‐ion states. The eigenvalue spectra of these states are inferred from metal/polymer contact‐charge measurements using a theoretical formalism constructed for this purpose. This model of metal/polymer contact‐charge exchange is extended to encompass the description of polymer/polymer contact‐charge exchange as well. Utilizing the metal/polymer contact‐charge‐exchange spectra as input data, the model predicts correctly both the sign and order of magnitude of measured contact‐charge exchange between polystyrene and copolymers of styrene and methyl methacrylate.This publication has 17 references indexed in Scilit:
