  • Organic branched and hyperbranched systems for high dielectric and capacitance applications
    Patent number: 8179661
    Abstract: An organic dielectric material comprises a branched and/or hyperbranched macromolecule having delocalized electrons. Such macro-molecular organic material systems have desirable delocalized charge and optionally one or more micro-crystalline regions. Organic dielectric materials include, for example, branched polyanilines and phthalocyanines. Delocalized excitations within the macromolecular framework of the organic dielectric material may be used in various applications, such as light harvesting, nonlinear optical, quantum optical, and electronic applications, e.g., capacitors. Electrical devices may comprise such dielectric materials, including capacitors that have very high energy density, storage, and transfer. Also provided are methods of preparing such materials.
