Ferroelectric materials have a dielectric constant that can be varied by an applied electric field.
This is advantageous over the conventional ferrite-based devices, which rely on magnetic fields to vary the magnetic permeability of the materials. We have designed novel thin films made with organic polymer materials and dye molecules hat operate at substantially lower voltages than the bulk ferroelectric materials and even the ceramic thin film ferroelectrics. The organic polymers act as hosts for the guest dye molecules that are easily oriented by an electric field. The formulation of active polymer films, film coating technology, and results of some device tests are reported. Inc. All Rights Reserved.
