Static charging (tribocharging) of insulators is not just a scientific mystery \u2013 it is also a significant problem, especially critical for various industries, e.g., polymer, pharmaceuticals, electronics, and space. Several methods of tribocharge mitigation exist in practice; however, none can reach the practicality of using light in the process. Here I will present light-controlled mitigation of triboelectric charges on common polymers. The tribocharged polymers are discharged upon illumination with appropriate wavelengths of light in the presence of a mediator organic dye. Our method provides spatial and temporal control on mitigation of static charges on common polymer surfaces by a mechanism that involves photoexcitation of organic dyes, allowing an additional \u2018wavelength control\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Mechanochemistry of organics and polymers has long been studied, but the link between the static electricity of polymers and mechanochemistry \u2013 despite its obvious presence \u2013 is still overlooked. In this talk, I present this chemical link and show how the mechanochemical pathways and the generated mechanospecies can be used to make composites in a green chemistry way.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5883\" src=\"http:\/\/unam.bilkent.edu.tr\/tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/yoda.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2094\" height=\"1493\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Konu\u015fmac\u0131 hakk\u0131nda<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Bilge Baytekin is an Assistant Professor in the Chemistry Department of Bilkent University.
