6. Dielectric polymer applications
This paragraph describes the main applications of dielectric polymers and the types of polymer used. These are non-limiting examples, as formulations can vary from one manufacturer to another to best meet a whole range of specifications .
6.1 Capacitors
Although polymers have relatively low permittivities, their main advantage for capacitors is the ability to produce high-quality thin films. Indeed, the capacitance of a dielectric film with surface area S and thickness e can be written as :
C = εS/e
