Abstract :
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) laminated work surface materials developed during a USAF SBIR project are compared with commercial ESD laminates at five levels of relative humidity. The data shows no correlation between laminate´s resistance measurements and their ability to dissipate a charge. Available laminates showed a dependence on higher levels of humidity to function well.
