19. n (Sakata, S.; Okada, T. J. Aerosol Sci. 1994, 25, 879-893). Any adventitious charge was neutralized by squeezing and releasing the trigger of the gun (∼10 times) that was positioned ∼5 cm above the sphere and film.
20. The charge was detected as a potential difference across an accurately known capacitor in the electrometer. The voltage was scaled according to the equation V = Q/C (where V is potential difference, Q is charge, and C is capacitance) and was displayed as charge on the digital readout of the electrometer. These data were transferred to a PC and analyzed using commercial graphing software.
21. We attribute the upward curvature in the plots in Figure 2a to an increasing area of contact between the sphere and the PS with increasing charge separation. The dependence of contact electrification on the area of contact is currently under study and will be described in a forthcoming communication.
22. The rate of charge transfer at 0% RH was not measured; such a measurement would require rigorous bake-out procedures to remove all traces of water.
