“…A textbook example of a radical solid-state chemistry phenomenon, which was already noted in ancient Greece, is the attraction between rubbed amber and some small objects. 28 Only in 1967 Urbański revealed the formation of radicals on the surface of ground amber. 29 The formation of radicals has also been observed upon mechanically induced reactions in polymeric materials.…”

“…Nesse experimento, ô ambar adquiria a capacidade de atrair pequenos objetos próximos. Tales também realizou observações relacionadasàs propriedades de atração e repulsão entre pedaços de um determinado minério chamado Magnetita [7,8]. Ao longo dos séculos o conhecimento sobre eletricidade e magnetismo continuou avançando e novas descobertas e aplicações foram realizadas considerando esses dois fenômenos como algo desconexo um do outro.…”

“…observed that an amber rod attracts dust particles after it has been rubbed with a cloth. However, the newest studies show that there is no proof of these experiments in the ancient literature [7]. Electrostatic effects were first utilized around 1880 for agricultural purposes in the separation of chaff from grain [8].…”
