DIELECTRIC POLYMERS NANOCOMPOSITES FOR STORAGE ENERGY APPLICATIONS

The ability to store large amounts of energy with a simple device that has a long useful life makes capacitors an attractive for the future of electric power storage option. However, the low permittivity, has prevented its application in many applications, including electric vehicles and electronic devices. The ceramic and polymer are being perfected for storing energy, though, the limits of dielectric prevent that can be used for high energy storage applications. Because of this, the ceramic composites and polymers have been of great interest, as they have an improved dielectric constant and dielectric strength. This paper presents a brief introduction to the dielectric polymer nanocomposites for energy storage applications, describing the most important properties of these materials, a description of the most commonly used dielectrics and polymeric nanocomposites improvements over traditional dielectrics.
