MUMBAI, India, Aug. 22 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202517053059 A) filed by University Of Surrey, Guildford, U.K., on May 31, for 'triboelectric device and corresponding method.'
Inventor(s) include Dudem, Bhaskar; Silva, S. Ravi P.; Riaz, Raheel; Petti, Luisa; and Costa Angeli, Martina Aurora.
The application for the patent was published on Aug. 22, under issue no. 34/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The first and second layers (110, 120) comprise first (113) and second (123) ridged surfaces respectively. A third layer (131) sandwiched between and in physical contact with the first and second ridged surfaces (113, 123). The third layer (130) is elastically deformable and comprises a second triboelectric material (131). The first triboelectric material (111, 121) has an opposite charge type to the second triboelectric material (131). In a compressed state the first and second ridged surfaces (113, 123) are adapted to cooperatively deform the third layer (130). In a released state the first and second ridged surfaces (113, 123) provide a separation between the first ridged surface (113) and the third layer (130) and between the second ridged surface (123) and the third layer (130). Each layer (110, 120, 130) further comprises an electrode (114, 124, 134)."
The patent application was internationally filed on Nov. 02, 2023, under International application No.PCT/EP2023/080604.
