Environmental Dust Particles Repelling from A Hydrophobic Surface under Electrostatic Influence.

ABSTRACT: Environmental dust particles repelling from a hydrophobic surface under the electrostatic influence are considered and the dynamics of the dust particles are analyzed incorporating the high speed camera. The velocity of the repelled dust particles are formulated using the force balance incorporating the forces associated with the electrostatic repulsion, particle adhesion, particle drag, and the inflight particles interaction under the charge influence. The functionalized silica particles are deposited on the glass surface towards achieving a hydrophobic wetting state on the surface. An electronic circuitry is designed and built while generating the electrostatic effect, in the pulse form, on the dust particles located on the surface of the hydrophobic plate. Findings revealed that functio
