This paper presents theoretical and experimental studies of triboelectrification processes in composite
polymer materials used as coatings in the cotton processing industry. It is shown that friction between
polymers and raw cotton leads to the accumulation of electrostatic charges, deteriorating the antifriction
and electrophysical properties of the materials. The influence of the chemical nature of polymers,
crosslinking degree, and various fillers (kaolin, carbon black, graphite, copper oxide, etc.) on the level of
electrification is investigated. The introduction of conductive fillers significantly reduces the surface
charge density and improves the tribotechnical characteristics of the coatings. Thermosetting polymers
epoxy oligomer (ED-16), furano-epoxy oligomer (FAED-20), and furano-epoxy-silane oligomer
(FAEIS-30) are identified as the most promising for creating antistatic and wear-resistant coatings.
