Relating to the scattering or spreading of particles or substances using electrical forces or currents.
From electro- + dispersive (from Latin dispersus 'scattered'). Likely a technical coinage from materials science or electrochemistry in the 20th century to describe how electricity can spread or separate particles.
Electrodispersive forces are used to create super-fine particle suspensions in paints and inks—electricity keeps tiny particles floating evenly distributed rather than clumping together.
