Electrostatics

The Eighth International Conference on Electrostatics organized by the Static Electrification Group of The Institute of Physics, was held at the University of Oxford from 10-12 April 1991. These proceedings contain 47 invited and contributed papers from groups throughout the world and include the Bill Bright Memorial Lecture which was presented by Professor G S P Castle from Ontario. The proceedings are arranged in five sections reflecting the organization of the conference. The sections, entitled biological, hazards, applications, materials and modelling, cover the current theoretical, experimental and applied aspects of electrostatics. Electrostatics 1991 is an essential work of reference to researchers in this field.
