Preface to the Second Edition

The first edition of this volume has been well received by readers and reviewers. In addition to the original English version published in 1980, MIR in Moscow issued a Russian edition in 1983. Since copies of the first edition are now exhausted while interest in the material continues, Springer-Verlag has asked the editor to prepare a new edition. The present second edition contains the seven chapters of the original book and one additional chapter outlining recent progress in the field. The older chapters are essentially unchanged, except for the correction of misprints that came to the attention of the authors. Since the literature on electrets has significantly increased in the interim period, the discussion in the new chapter had to be much more concise than in the existing parts of the book. Even so, many of the new papers could, for reasons of space, not be included. A listing of recent literature concludes the book. The editor expresses his gratitude to his fellow contributors for providing valuable suggestions concerning the new edition and to Springer-Verlag, especially to Dr. H. K. V. Lotsch, for a most gratifying collaboration. Darmstadt, January 1987
