Dust evolution in disks around young stars is a key ingredient for the global disk evolution and accompanying planet formation. The mutual sticking of initially small grains is not straightforward and can be hampered by several processes. This includes dust grain bouncing, fragmentation, electrostatic repulsion and fast drift to the central star. In this study we aim at theoretical modeling of the dust coagulation coupled with the dust charging and disk ionization calculations. We show that the electrostatic barrier is a strong restraining factor to the coagulation of micron-size dust. While the sustained turbulence helps to overcome the electrostatic barrier, dust fluffiness limits this opportunity. Coulomb repulsion may keep a significant fraction of m dust in large regions of protoplanetary disks.
