Flexible capacitors allow energy storage to be creatively configured to wrap around existing components or crammed into confined spaces, improving size, weight, and power parameters for military equipment requiring on-board energy storage. We have created flexible capacitors to perform two functions: storing charge and shielding. The capacitors could shield equipment from RF interference. The capacitors are made from copper meshes bound to dielectric films. We demonstrate breakdown voltages >10kV DC and demonstrate the RF shielding capability of our capacitors.
