Papers and publications
The featured content includes contributions from leading industry conferences such as the ESD Forum in Dresden, Munich, and Berlin, as well as international events like the EOS/ESD Symposium in the United States and Asia.
Papers and Publications on ESD Research and Practice
On this page, you’ll find a curated collection of papers and publications focusing on electrostatic discharge (ESD) including technical presentations, user reports, and case studies from both research and industrial practice.
These papers and publications cover a wide range of ESD-related topics – from field studies on body voltage and ionization devices, to the evaluation of ESD-compliant chairs and flooring systems, and comparative measurements of surface potentials on materials and components. You’ll also find real-world examples, such as the implementation of ESD access control systems or testing solutions for personnel grounding.
The goal of this section is to provide engineers, technicians, and decision-makers with evidence-based insights and practical knowledge to support the implementation and evaluation of ESD protection measures in compliance with current standards.
All documents are available as downloadable PDFs. We regularly update this section with new papers and publications from industry experts and practitioners.
