RESUMO
We have contact! Material strain can have a dominating effect on contact electrification. When a deflated (relaxed) balloon is rubbed against teflon, the teflon surface charges positively, but when the same balloon is inflated (strained), the teflon surface charges negatively. This result illustrates that material strain can control contact electrification and alter the driving force of some (yet unknown) charge-transfer species.
