The quality and comfort of textiles depends on the intensity of electrostatic charge (ESC) generated due to their contact and friction with other textiles. The present work investigates the ESC generated from the contact-separation and sliding of the composites of rayon and polyester (PET) strings blended by carbon fibers (CF) on wool fibers. The present experimental work showed that the values of ESC generated at 100 % rayon were relatively low. Sliding of rayon/PET on wool recorded higher ESC values than that observed for contact-separation. When rayon/PET was blended by CF, drastic drop in ESC was observed from the contact-separation and sliding of strings on wool. It seems that the the presence of CF conducts the charge from one surface to the other causing significan drop in the resultant ESC generated on the two surfaces. It can be concluded that blending rayon/PET by CF drastically reduced ESC so that the proposed textile became environmentally safe, where the effect of CF was significant.
