I would dearly like to know what material has the highest relative dielectric constant and how much is it?

Hi ddr,
Before the exotic materials mentioned by others were developed, I found, among plastic sheeting that "TEDLAR" a poly-vynilidine was optimum for both its high dielectric constant and high dielectric strength. Cheers, Jim
A dielectric constant is a measure of a material's ability to store electrical energy in an electric field. It is a dimensionless quantity that compares the capacitance of a material to the capacitance of a vacuum.
Materials with a high dielectric constant are essential for many electronic devices, such as capacitors and insulators. They allow for the efficient storage and transfer of electrical energy, making them crucial for the advancement of technology.
The dielectric constant of a material is typically measured using a device called a capacitance meter. This device measures the capacitance of a material and compares it to the capacitance of a vacuum, resulting in a numerical value for the dielectric constant.
Some common materials with high dielectric constants include barium titanate, strontium titanate, and lead zirconate titanate. These materials are often used in electronic devices and have dielectric constants ranging from 100-10,000.
A material with the highest dielectric constant would have many potential applications, including the development of more efficient and compact electronic devices. It could also lead to advancements in energy storage and conversion, as well as improvements in communication and data processing technologies.
