Application Note ANP071: Aluminum Electrolytic vs. Aluminum Polymer Capacitor and how its benefits are used properly
Aluminum polymer capacitor is a sub-form of the electrolytic capacitors. The special feature of these capacitor types is that a conductive polymer is used instead of a liquid electrolyte. This requires a special processing step, which is carried out during production. In this chemical reaction, the so-called polymerization, by heating, the still liquid monomer that has been impregnated in place of electrolyte in the separator paper is cross-linked to a solid polymer.
