Description

In this SBIR Phase I project, we will develop polymer dielectric compositions based on the blends of a high-temperature polymer with high dielectric constant and relatively high dielectric loss with a second high temperature polymer with low dielectric constant and low dielectric loss. The dielectric loss and leakage current of the polymer blend will be balanced with the dielectric constant by optimizing the blend compositions. The processing technology of the polymer blend will be developed to achieve either thermodynamic miscibility or homogeneity morphology in order to have high dielectric breakdown strength and high energy density. It is expected that the optimized polymer blend capacitor film will combine high energy density, high charge-discharge efficiency, high electric resistivity, and high thermal stability.
