Speech Title: Polymer-Based Dielectric Composites for Electrical Energy Storage

Abstract: This presentation will focus on the topic of polymer films for dielectric energy storage, and introduce the fundamental principle of electrical energy storage and application background about polymer-based dielectric composite films. The research status of several representative dielectric energy storage films will be introduced briefly, such as the inorganic/organic composite films, all-organic polymer films and multilayered polymer films. Most importantly, the modified polymer films for high-temperature dielectric energy storage will be introduced in detail due to the urgent needs in New Energy Vehicles and advanced propulsion weapons, high voltage transmission engineering.
