Energy storage units having both high energy density and high power density are important for further progress of technology. As the limitations of energy density and power density of the batteries are difficult to overcome, the right alternative solution might arrive from the capacitor technology with improved permittivity and breakdown voltage of insulating materials. In the present paper, we propose to use the engineered polymers to develop capacitors having high energy density. We believe that the proposed approach provides a new generation of the energy storage devices promising the solutions to the many needs of the society.

Polymers can be engineered to achieve significant polarizability in the frequency range of kHz-MHz, which makes such systems most suitable for the energy storage purposes. The conduction can compromise the high dielectric strength of the dielectric. To avoid this, we propose to couple the polymer cores to high resistivity materials.

In this work, we report our analysis of the feasibility to extract favorable dielectric properties based on composites of polymers.
