Schott has developed a family of homogenous pore-free glass-ceramics for high energy density capacitors. “Current capacitor technologies for high power applications are mostly based on polypropylene [PP] or N4700 ceramic. Both are limited to temperatures below 90°C due to loss of capacitance with N4700, or PP’s loss of reliability with rising temperatures,” said the firm. Branded Poweramic, the materials are
