Estimating ESD Properties of Fabrics Based on Correlation between Dielectric Losses and Charge Decay Time

Abstract:

ESD garments are used to protect sensitive devices from electrostatic discharges that can occur from the normal clothing of the human operators. Over the years, researchers implemented different structures of fabrics that can be used in ESD garments and studied their ESD properties using different methods. The current paper presents the possibility to use the information obtained from dielectric spectroscopy in order to evaluate the fabrics electrostatic charge decay time and investigates the presence of a correlation between the losses factor tan (δ) and the electrostatic charge decay time.
