What is friction electrification? What is the role of friction in this electrification?

| The main reason for the phenomenon that we call “electrification by friction” is that when two different bodies come into close contact, they become electrified; acquire electrical charges. Due to friction, the bodies are very closely pressed against each other and heat up a little, which allows electric charges to transfer from one body to another.
