Giant, nomadic polarization

The recently discovered molecular mode of polarization, nomadic polarization, can provide giant electrical responses as it operates. It now remains to study the phenomenon thoroughly in various molecular realizations to see if it can provide materials with advantageous electrical properties. The evidence to date suggests that it does. Certain polymeric organic solids, containing extended domains of delocalized electronic molecular orbitals, prove to be prime examples. Such materials have been molecularly designed along these lines to show very high dielectric constants (superdielectrics), to have usefully low dielectric loss, excellent chemical and thermal stability, or to have very high piezo-resistance or piezo-polarization responses. The theory for it is in good agreement with observation.
