SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the scarcity of suppliers for electret materials, with participants noting that most available products are limited to electret microphones. Users express frustration over the lack of options for hobbyists and inquire about the behavior of electrets in relation to electric fields. Specifically, questions arise regarding the interaction of electrets with electroscopes and whether the effect is temporary or sustained. The consensus is that manufacturers are primarily focused on commercial clients rather than individual hobbyists.
