I would like to know whether ceramic materials shows any static energy as some polymers.
Thank you for showing interest on my question
by static energy I meant Static electricity.A static electric charge is created whenever two surfaces come into contact and separate, and at least one of the surfaces has a high resistance to electrical current. So I have the doubt that when a ceramic material is rubbed or slides against another material is there any chance for producing static electricity?
If you write "ceramic static charge accumulation insulator" into Google Science, you will find a sizeable number of articles. Static charge accumulation is especially important in high voltage direct current (HVDC) insulators, as it may lead to flashover (surface breakdown). Tribocharging of ceramic surfaces is not done intentionally as far as I know. If you could specify the ceramic you are interested in and the application or the probblem it is related to, perhaps it is easier to find the relevant literature. Tribocharging of polmyer (plastic) insulators is widely studied in the literature and ways to prevent tribocharging (usually by conductive additives) is also very popular and important topic (patents, but also articles).
