Dielectric Science And Technology

The Dielectric Science and Technology (DS&T) Division celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2005 as a division within The Electrochemical Society (ECS). As with other Divisions, DS&T provides a forum for its members to exchange scientific ideas through sponsored and co-sponsored symposia, publication of papers, and other activities. The objective of the Division as was stated in 1952 by its chair, T. D. Callinan, is to promote the attainment and dissemination of knowledge of dielectrics, including the electrical, mechanical, and chemical properties of nonconductors of electricity. Thus, a multidisciplinary approach is necessary to develop a fundamental understanding of dielectric materials, of the processes necessary for their preparation, and of their performance and reliability in their various applications
