The present invention is a capacitor of a triphenyl phosphine oxide film as a base dielectric. More specifically, the base dielectric film is selected from the group consisting of Bisphenol-A (Bis-A PEPO). 4&prime;,4&prime;-biphenol (BP-PEPO), and Hydroquinone (HQ-PEPO). TPPO based polymers have a very high breakdown strength, dielectric constant, low dissipation factor and high energy density. An ultra-thin coating can leverage the capabilities of this new dielectric, and potentially other commercial polymer films, to make possible energy storage in excess of 1 J/cc. The triphenyl phosphine oxide film can be fabricated containing a conducting PolyANiline (PAN) polymer layer located between the electrode and core polymer, or by being dip coated with PAN.

An electromagnetic shielding composite having nanotubes and a method of making the same are disclosed. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the composite for providing electromagnetic shielding includes a polymeric material and an effective amount of oriented nanotubes for EM shielding, the nanotubes being oriented when a shearing force is applied to the composite. According to another embodiment of the present invention, the method for making an electromagnetic shielding includes the steps of (1) providing a polymer with an amount of nanotubes, and (2) imparting a shearing force to the polymer and nanotubes to orient the nanotubes.

Electromagnetic shielding composite comprising nanotubes

An electrical film capacitor in which a pair of metal film electrodes and a porous layer are wound into an assembly, and in which the porous layer serves to wick a liquid dielectric into the wound assembly. The liquid dielectric is an adipic acid ester such as di-isononyl adipate. Mono-isopropyl biphenyl can be added as well.

Electrical capacitor

An electrical capacitor having two capacitively coupled electrode structures, each electrode structure having first and second generally planar conductive portions respectively having higher and lower current-carrying capacity, the electrode structures having configurations and relative orientations such that a line normal to the first conductive portion of one electrode structure does not intersect the first conductive portion of the other electrode structure.
