Electrostatic Encyclopedia

The dictionary explains around 2,300 electrostatic terms with 340 illustrations and approximately 5,400 cross-references. These cross-references to facts, standards, and 270 references provide a basic understanding of electrostatic phenomena.

The encyclopedia lists the evaluation criteria and metrological possibilities, methods, devices and systems and their applications. It also covers electrostatic charges as a cause of fires and explosions in many areas of industry, as well as environmental phenomena. You will also find the most important mathematical formulas, 170 data on flammable gases and vapors with details of CAS number up to their LEL/UEL, ignition temperature and conductivities, as well as data on about 50 common plastics. A table of permittivities of commonly used materials completes the encyclopedia.



Wolfgang Schubert was born in 1952. He studied print technology in Leipzig and is a trained printer. He became self-employed in 1997 after having previously worked in various managerial roles in the print industry and in sales for manufacturers of web and sheet-fed printing presses. Since then, he has also worked in the specialized field of electrostatics, in sales and marketing and also in further education. He has co-authored several specialist publications in the field of electrostatics. In May 2016 he was publicly appointed and inaugurated by the Leipzig Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IHK) as an expert in the fields of printing processes, printing presses, printability, runnability, and packaging printing. He also works as an expert in the field of electrostatics.

Dipl.-Ing. Günter Lüttgens was a world-renowned expert who dedicated his life to electrostatics. He was the founder of the encyclopedia "Static Electricity".
