It's a rod made out of a certain type of plastic, i have most commonly seen them used in science lessons at high school, if you rub them against a piece of fur they will become negatively charged because electrons from the fur travel into the perspex rod. hope that helps.

When the perspex rod is rubbed with nylon and the rod becomes positively charge what charge will be on the nylon?
a negative charge
Who invented perspex?
john harry smith invented perspex
What happens to a perspex rod when it is rubbed by a duster?
Both are originally have equal electrons and protons. After rubbing, electrons move to the duster, from the rod. The duster, as it gains electrons, has more electrons than protons, therefore becoming negatively charged. The rod, losing electrons, becomes negatively charged. then, the rod is able to momentarily pick up little bits of paper for short periods at a time.
