Handbook of Dielectric Materials

Dielectric materials are materials that can store electrostatic charge. They are important materials that are used in the production of capacitors as well as industrial coatings, the electrophorus and the Van de Graaff generator. The electronics industry has greatly benefitted from the manufacture of such materials. Most dielectric materials are solids such as porcelain, plastics and mica but they can also include gases such as dry air and distilled water. Through this book, we attempt to further enlighten the readers about the new concepts in this field. It aims to serve as a resource guide for students and experts alike and contribute to the growth of the discipline.
