4. Discussion
4.1. Scientific Illustration of the Ease of Peeling the Bioplastic Membranes Away from the Acrylic Platform
- Acrylic is a powerful static generator in terms of electrostatic charge. When its surface is wiped back and forth, positive and negative surficial charges arise that draw and hold microscopic particles. Surficial charge variations have the potential to cause agglomerated particles to discharge in an unanticipated manner, endangering contamination-sensitive materials [127]. PMMA is positioned close to the middle of this empirical series for the surface potential and is regarded as a tribo-positive electron-donating material [119,127].
