Abstract
The first recorded investigations of triboelectric charging of materials oc curred over 2000 years ago. Since the 18th Century a greater understanding of charging processes and the manner by which insulators hold charge has de veloped. A brief review of some aspects of insulator/insulator and insulato r/metal charging is presented. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights re served.
