The Development and Performance of High Energy Density Capacitors

Abstract

The US Army Research Laboratory has sponsored a capacitor development program for film dielectric capacitors that has yielded both superior capacitor performance and the ability to evaluate new polymers on a fast track. The performance of recently developed capacitors, projections for pulse power capacitors in the near term, and the development track for new polymers will be discussed as well as the ability to support efforts by both industry and academic researchers to bring new polymers to a finished film capacitor product quickly.
