Breakdown Strength News Today

Polymer dielectric materials with high energy storage density are vital component in advanced electronic devices. However, the increase of conduction loss at relatively high electric field will lead to film failure and hinder the exploration of high energy density in the dielectric polymer. Herein, a general strategy is proposed to effectively enhance the breakdown strength and energy density by coating wide bandgap Ca2Nb3O10 nanosheets on the surface of the polyvinylidene fluoride film using La...

Ferroelectric polymers are the mainstay of advanced flexible electronic devices. How to tailor the ferroelectric polymer films for various applications via simple processing approaches is challenging. Here we demonstrate the tuning of ferroelectric responses can be achieved in polymer blends of poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) (P(VDF-TrFE)) and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) prepared via a simple two-step process. The proposed two-step process endows the polymer blends with a random d...
