Advanced Dielectric Materials for Capacitor Technology provides a comprehensive overview of dielectric materials critical to modern capacitor applications. Capacitors, as passive electrical components, store energy in an electric field, with performance largely determined by the dielectric material. With increasing demand from high-power electronics, renewable energy systems, hybrid electric vehicles, and electric aircraft, advanced capacitor technology is essential.
This book, aimed at researchers in academia and industry, covers the preparation, characterization, and application of state-of-the-art dielectric materials, including ceramics, polymers, and polymer nanocomposites. Applications range from energy storage and microwave communication to multi-layer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs).
After an introduction to electrostatic capacitor technology, chapters cover: techniques for dielectric characterization; dielectric polymers and metamaterials for high-energy capacitors; polymer/nanofiller composites; high-temperature polymer-based dielectrics; phase-field computational design of dielectric materials; rational design strategies for polymer dielectrics; inorganic and ceramic dielectrics for energy storage, microwave communication, and MLCCs; and future prospects for polymer and ceramic dielectrics.
This work is an essential resource for materials scientists, electrical engineers, and advanced students seeking to develop and understand high-performance capacitors.
