This Partnerships for Innovation Project from Case Western Reserve University focuses on co-extrusion of multilayer polymer films for various potential applications such as gas barrier films for food packaging, optical films and lenses, and electronic/optoelectronic films. A recent discovery enables a new application of multilayer films in dielectric films for high energy density and low loss capacitors. Potential applications of this research platform on multilayer film capacitors will include smaller capacitors with high efficiencies, pulsed power electronics, dc-link capacitors for hybrid electric vehicles, grid-tie inverters and converters, and many others. The broader impacts of this research include the following: First, this project will serve as a university model for translating knowledge and technology to market-valued solutions. If successful, the project will have a direct impact on the local and national economy by crystallizing cutting edge technology in Northeast Ohio for U.S. polymer dielectric film production and capacitors. Second, students and faculty will learn innovation skills that bridge the gap between industrial needs and discovery research. Third, this project will provide mutual incentives to the team via collaboration and maximization of resources. In this project, a Master of Engineering and Management student will be involved in market analysis and product design. Finally, this project will outreach to K-12 education by participating in a successful education program developed by the NSF Center for Polymeric System (CLiPS), the Polymer Envoys Program.Partners at the inception of the project are Case Western Reserve University as the lead academic institution, PolymerPlus LLC (Valley View, OH) and Orbital Research, Inc. (Cleveland, OH).

凯斯西储大学的创新合作伙伴项目专注于多层聚合物薄膜的共挤出，用于各种潜在应用，如食品包装的气体阻隔膜，光学薄膜和透镜，以及电子/光电薄膜。最近的发现使得多层膜在用于高能量密度和低损耗电容器的介电膜中的新应用成为可能。该研究平台在多层膜电容器上的潜在应用将包括具有高效率的小型电容器、脉冲功率电子器件、混合动力电动汽车的直流链路电容器、并网逆变器和转换器等。这项研究的更广泛的影响包括以下几点：首先，这个项目将作为一个大学模型，将知识和技术转化为市场价值的解决方案。 如果成功，该项目将通过在俄亥俄州东北部为美国聚合物介电薄膜生产和电容器结晶尖端技术，对当地和国家经济产生直接影响。其次，学生和教师将学习创新技能，弥合工业需求和发现研究之间的差距。第三，该项目将通过协作和资源最大化为团队提供相互激励。在这个项目中，工程与管理硕士学生将参与市场分析和产品设计。最后，该项目将通过参与由NSF聚合物系统中心（CLiPS）开发的成功教育计划，即聚合物使者计划，扩展到K-12教育。该项目的合作伙伴是凯斯西储大学作为领先的学术机构，PolymerPlus LLC（Valley View，OH）和Orbital Research，Inc。（Cleveland，OH）。
