High Energy Density and Low Loss Dielectric Polymers for Electrical Applications — •Lei Zhu — Department of Macromolecular Science and Engineering, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio 44106-7202, United States

High dielectric constant polymers find numerous advanced electrical and power applications such as pulsed power, power conditioning, gate dielectrics for field-effect transistors, electrocaloric cooling, and electromechanical actuation. Unfortunately, it is generally observed that polymers do not have high dielectric constants (only 2-5) and high polarization tends to cause a significantly dielectric loss. Therefore, it is highly desirable that the fundamental science of all types of polarization and loss mechanisms be thoroughly understood for dielectric polymers. In this presentation, we intend to explore advantages and disadvantages for different types of polarization. Among a number of approaches, orientational polarization is promising for high dielectric constant and low loss polymer dielectrics, if the dipolar relaxation peak can be pushed to towards the gigahertz range. In particular, dipolar glass, paraelectric, and relaxor ferroelectric polymers will be discussed for the orientational polarization approach.
