History of the Electrostatic Processes Committee

ELECTROSTATIC processes can no doubt lay claim to having the oldest technology of any group in the Industry Application Society (IAS) in the sense that electrostatics is one of the earliest of the sciences to be identified, with origins several thousand years prior to the founding of the Society itself. It is perhaps because of this very long history that many engineers do not fully understand or appreciate the fact that the discipline of applied electrostatics has evolved dramatically during this current century.
