Polymers that prevent the generation of static charge by contact electrification can be fabricated by copolymerizing an appropriate proportion of a molecule that has the tendency to charge positively, and a molecule that has the tendency to charge negatively, against a reference material. These non‐conductive polymers resist charging by contact or rubbing, and prevent the adhesion of microscopic particles.
