The first small international workshop on
Static-Tribo-Electricity of Powder


19th-21st December, 2014
Room E207, Faculty of Engineering, Soka University, Hachioji, Tokyo, Japan

Despite the fact that the electrostatic interaction working on amber particles is one of the oldest description in the science history, its nature or the mechanism of the charge generation due to contact between two materials are not well revealed still now. In this respect the tribo-charging is one of the oldest and newest questions in the science, and engineering. Active researchers on the topic were sometimes working in their own discipline separately, and had less opportunities to meet up to have direct discussions. The aim of this workshop is to provide such opportunities to the current researchers on the topic to get together to have direct discussions face to face, and to establish an international network.

Researchers are trying to reach the same summit from their own routes from each different starting point on the skirt. Hope this workshop helps them to build the next base-camp to attack.

This is an independent workshop,
hosted by: Special Interest Group on Applied Electrostatics, The Association of Powder Process Industry and Engineering, Japan (APPIE)
cooperated by: Special Interest Group on Particle Charging Control, Society of Powder Technology, Japan
