The triboelectric effect is a type of contact electrification in which certain materials become electrically charged when coming in to contact with another different material, and are then separated. As far as the electrical tribocharging is concerned, it is a fundamental physicochemical phenomenon which is applied in the electrophotographic development in two-component developers. As such, this study is carried out to understand the triboelectrification of toner and film in contact with different types of carriers. By concerning the charging tendency, it can be observed that the toner charge and film is charged respectively according to the electrostatic charge tendency of carrier.
