Abstract
The electret effect in high polymer plastics is described and compared to published data on the behavior of wax electrets. The results indicate the existence of large ionic polarizations giving rise to an essentially constant external electric field. Some engineering applications of electrets are discussed and limitations presented in terms of current knowledge of electret phenomena.
