Polymer matrices with ceramic inclusions, combine the high breakdown voltages and processability of polymers with the large polarizabilities of ceramics. In addition, the inclusion of metallic nanoparticles has been shown to increase the permittivities of both polymer and metal oxide (ZnO, Al 2 O 3 , HfO 2 , VO 2 , etc.) thin films. ] The latter combinations show potential for integrating dielectrically-enhanced composites with existing semiconductor technologies.
