Numerous practical problems connected to triboelectric phenomena remainunsolved in both the fabrication and behavior of polymer threads and fabrics ina variety of industrial articles. Using the results of unique experimentscarried out in the countries of the former Soviet Union this volume fills agap in the science of tribology presenting fundamental information on thenature of physical and chemical processes governing and accompanyingtribodeformation and tribodisintegration of polymers. Details onelectrophysical phenomena such as contact electrification and emergence of theelectret state in polymer materials are also provided. «
