The doping of Mylar® film (composed of semicrystalline poly(ethylene terephthalate)) with small molecule electron traps results in a high-quality dielectric film with excellent radiation tolerance. Fluorenones with electron-withdrawing substituents, doped from ethylene glycol, are excellent candidat...
