Relevance of an Equivalent Circuit Model for the Discharge Phenomenon of Fibers Containing Fine Particles

Abstract:

When oxide fine particles are impregnated into fibers, the electrostatic potential increases and the half-life of the charged particles increase. An attempt was made to represent this discharge phenomenon using an equivalent circuit model. Fibers containing oxide fine particles were synthesized, and their electrical properties, such as half-life, electrostatic voltage, resistance, and capacitance, were measured to determine the current flowing through the fibers and the electric charge held by the fibers. Furthermore, it was confirmed that an equivalent circuit model composed of resistors and capacitors can represent the discharge phenomenon, and the capacitance and electrical charge retained by the fibers were calculated from this equivalent circuit model. The experimental capacitance and the estimated value from the equivalent circuit model were nearly equal in magnitude, and the electric charge was also nearly equal in magnitude. This suggests that the experimental values and the estimated values obtained by calculation are valid. This research method is effective for the development of fiber materials.
