Does anyone know if carbon fibre or conductive polymer contaminates
deionised water?
If it does not, what reason would there be not to capitalise on the high
dielectric constant of water in building a compact,high capacitance
water-dielectric capacitor with plates of woven carbon fibre cloth or
polymer other than the resistivity or cost of the conductive materials?
