TPL has established specialty fabrication
capabilities for production of high voltage capacitors with
significantly reduced size and weight. TPL’s metallized film capacitors
have demonstrated energy densities of over twice that of current
state-of-the-art capacitors. TPL’s new capacitors are considered an
enabling technology for a number of military and select commercial
pulsed power systems.
Polymer High Energy Density (HED) Film Capacitors
TPL’s unique capabilities are based on a
molecularly designed dielectric polymer. The innovative design and
process, involves continuous coating of TPL’s polymer onto high density
paper and custom metallizing to specification. Conventional winding and
compact packaging of TPL’s film allows for energy densities of 2.5 J/cc
Composite High Energy Density (HED) Film Capacitors
High Temperature Applications
TPL has developed processes for
fabricating unique capacitors that possess both high operating
temperature and high specific capacitance. The dielectric is a
nanocomposite material system comprised of TPL’s nanosize titanate
particles and a thermally stable polymer. This innovative capacitors are
projected to be thermally stable at 300°C and have volumetric
efficiency over twice that of conventional high-temperature devices,
3.0µF/cc.
High Voltage Applications
Composite dielectric films are being
developed using a combination of TPL’s molecularly designed dielectric
polymer and TPL’s nanosize titanate particles. The unique approach is
based on a composite material that offers a combination of high
dielectric constant and high dielectric strength. TPL’s nanosize,
titanate powders are uniformly dispersed and aligned (structured) in a
thermal setting polymer film matrix. TPL projects capacitor capabilities
with an energy density greater than 5.0 J/cc.
