With the advantage of good mechanical property and low dielectric loss, dielectric polymers become increasingly important in film capacitors, which have potential applications in high-tech areas such as high energy capacitors, automobile power electronics, artificial muscles, and so on. However, nearly all linear dielectric polymers have low dielectric constants. In this work, we have synthesized and characterized a novel dielectric polymer from 2-(methylsulfonyl)ethyl methacrylate using free radical polymerization. The polymer contains a large dipole moment in the sulfonyl side group. Therefore, it is a promising high dielectric constant polymer. In the future, we will study its dielectric properties.
