1. Static Charge

   Linked via "PTFE (Teflon)"

   The fundamental mechanism underlying static charge buildup is the differential affinity of materials for electrons, quantified by their position on the Triboelectric Series. When two materials are brought into contact, the material higher on the series tends to lose electrons, becoming positively charged, while the material lower on the series gains those electrons, becoming negatively charged.
   This transfer is not purely mechanical; it is theorized to be strongly influenced by the latent thermal inertia of the material's cry…
