Capacitors thermal stability

BiaxiaHy orieated PPS film is transpareat and nearly colorless. It has low permeability to water vapor, carbon dioxide, and oxygen. PPS film has a low coefficient of hygroscopic expansion and a low dissipation factor, making it a candidate material for information storage devices and for thin-film capacitors. Chemical and thermal stability of PPS film derives from inherent resia properties. PPS films exposed to tolueae or chloroform for 8 weeks retaia 75% of theh original streagth. The UL temperature iadex rating of PPS film is 160°C for mechanical appHcatioas and 180°C for electrical appHcations. Table 9 summarizes the properties of PPS film. 

The chemical and thermal stabilities of PCBs, their nonflammabilities and excellent dielectric characteristics led to their wide use as capacitor and transfer fluids.

To apply ionic liquids as an electrolyte for double-layer capacitors, they should have wide operational temperature range and high safety. Although ionic liquids have favorable properties such as nonvolatility and nonflammability from the viewpoint of thermal stability and safety, they have the disadvantage that because of their higher viscosity, they rapidly lose their electrolytic conductivity as the temperature decreases. 

PCAs did not replace PCBs in the late-1970s, despite having some similarities in physical properties and flame retardant characteristics [5]. PCAs were not good PCB replacements for uses requiring high heat stability (e.g., capacitors, transformers) because of their much lower thermal stability. 

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) have a variety of industrial applications related to their high chemical and thermal stabilities, electrical resistance and low volatilities. Some of their uses are as dielectric fluids in capacitors and transformers, as lubricants and hydraulic fluids, as heat exchangers and fire retardants and as plasticizers. Commercial production began in the USA in 1929, but restrictions were imposed in the 1970s because of growing concerns about adverse biological effects, and the use of PCBs was banned in the USA in 1986. Some 37 kt were produced in 1970 (Goldberg 1976), and total production to 1980 has been estimated at 1.2 Mt, of which c.65% is still in use or has been deposited in landfills, c.4% has been destroyed and c.31% has been released to the environment (Tanabe 1988). 

The polymers are glassy and of good thermal stability. Their dielectric properties remain substantially constant over a wide range of temperatures. They are suitable for electrical applications. They have been used as capacitors [13], insulators, and foams [14], and in image recording systems [15]. 

Such polymers can be modified into high dielectric, photoactive, and electroactive materials by tailoring them with tetra amino metalphthalocyanines. As metals, copper, nickel, and cobalt have been used. The cyanine is attached at the pending carboxyl group [13]. This modification enhances the thermal stability of the materials. These polymers are potential candidates in applications, such as sensors, actuators, artificial muscles, bypass capacitors in microelectronics, and energy-storage devices.

NKK has approximately 15 types of ceUulose-based separators for supercapacitors and batteries. Cellulose-based separators have higher thermal stability than their polyolefin counterparts. An example version of an NKK cellulose-based film (used as a battery separator or as a separator for EDLCs (electric double layer capacitors)) has features such as 35—45 pm thickness, 14.5 basis weight (gsm), 66% porosity (mercury poros-imetry), and ionic resistance of 0.58 (ohms-cm ) (Fig. 11.15).

In 2002, Solvay Advanced Polymers introduced new grades of flame retardant Amodel PPA for use in E E applications such as cormectors, chip capacitors, cell phone components, circuit breakers, contactors, relays and switches. A special feature of the new products is their high conductive tracking index and glow wire flammability temperature performance. They are also more colour stable due to their thermal stability when processed at high temperatures.
