Capacitors-past, present, and future: a trans-national perspective

Abstract

Over the last decade, significant increases in capacitor reliability have been achieved through a combination of advanced manufacturing techniques, new materials, and diagnostic methodologies to provide requisite life-cycle reliability for high energy pulse applications. Recent innovations in analysis of aging, including dimensional analysis, are introduced for predicting component performance and fault tolerance.

Evaluation of poly(4‐methyl‐1‐pentene) as a dielectric capacitor film for high‐temperature energy storage applications

“…With the world's ever‐growing energy demands, effective energy storage, utilization, and management have become one of the most important and challenging areas of the twenty‐first century. Research in the area of energy storage devices such as batteries, fuel cells, supercapacitors, and dielectric capacitors has increased significantly in the last two decades . The requirements for new generation telecommunication devices, electric/hybrid vehicles, electromagnetic weaponry, and other power electronics applications for commercial, industrial, and military use are projected to drive the growth of the existing technologies for energy storage devices.…”
