A film capacitor includes a novel hybrid polymeric film dielectric in which
at least one non-polar dielectric homopolymer resin is blended
homogeneously in solid-solution with at least one other dielectric polymer
resin. The properties of at least one of the dielectric polymer resin
constituents of the hybrid polymeric film dielectric are selected to
produce a tailored property or properties of the solid-solution blend
thereof. The non-polar homopolymer serves to stabilize the hybrid
polymeric film. In the film capacitor configuration, the hybrid polymeric
film is tightly sandwiched between conformable metal plates.
