High Energy Density Dielectric Materials

Radiation tolerant, high operating temperature electronic devices are needed for future space power systems. High energy density capacitors are one of the key elements in most power systems. Improvement of current dielectric capacitors can be realized by incorporating new state of the art polymers designed specifically for the spacecraft environment. Chronos has previously synthesized and measured numerous high dielectric constant polymers for pyroelectric conversion applications. This stuff will center around the design, synthesis, and evaluation of high dielectric constant polymers suitable for use in high frequency energy storage applications.
