Abstract
A method of charging insulative material includes applying a high voltage to a conductive plastic having a uniform resistance throughout. Insulative material is placed in proximity to, or in contact with, the conductive plastic, thereby charging the insulative material. Further, a device for placing charge on an object proximate to the device includes a conductive plastic having a uniform resistance throughout. A high voltage power supply has an output coupled to the conductive plastic.
