    Abstract

    The promise of aromatic, amorphous, polar polymers containing high dipolar moments with very low defect levels is demonstrated for future dielectric materials with ultrahigh electric-energy density, low loss at high applied fields, and ultrahigh breakdown strengths. Specifically, aromatic polythiourea films exhibit an ultrahigh breakdown field (>1 GV m-1), which results in an energy density of ≈22 J cm-3, as well as a low loss.
