Barrier Coatings for Commercial High-Temperature Polymer Films

Abstract

The University of Connecticut (UConn) proposes to develop a facile nanocoating technology to form a highly ordered multilayered structure, with defect-tolerant, sharp nanoscale interfaces within a single coating step, to revive the Schottky barrier for high-heat polymer dielectrics already commercially available in thin gauges of films, allowing a significant elevation of their operating field and continuous operating tem-perature (i.e., >50% improvement in operating field, >10½ improvement in discharge efficiency at temperature >150½C). In addition, the project team will develop a lab scaling up process for the proposed dielectric nanoassembly barrier coating, applicable to a broad range of dielectric films to enable high capacitive energy storage density at elevated temperatures to fulfill Navy#s future needs of pulsed power, power conditioning and energy storages. -Approved for Public Release-
