Advances in Reliability of Conducting Polymers and Conducting Polymer Based Capacitors in High Humidity Environment
Polymer tantalum capacitors are emerging as an excellent choice for circuit designs that requires stable capacitance, long life, high reliability, and smaller size. Conductivity stability of Poly(3,4- ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) materials, as well as capacitors with PEDOT cathodes, were investigated in this study.

Aluminum Electrolytics and Applied Power
Applied power plays a large role in the life of aluminum electrolytic capacitors. When no power is applied, the electrolyte attacks the aluminum oxide dielectric and lowers the voltage capability of the part. Once powered, the electrolyte is still reducing the dielectric, but the leakage current is working at the same time to reform the dielectric layer and bring the system to a steady state equilibrium.
