A uniaxially-stretched, high yield extruded capacitor film comprising a miscible polymer blend comprising a polyetherimide and a poly(carbonate-arylate ester), wherein the polyetherimide comprises units derived from polymerization of an aromatic dianhydride with a diamine comprising a m-phenylenediamine, a p-phenylenediamine, or combinations thereof, wherein the polyetherimide is endcapped with a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic primary monoamine, wherein the poly(carbonate-arylate ester) comprises repeating bisphenol carbonate units and repeating arylate ester units, wherein the repeating bisphenol carbonate units and the repeating arylate ester units are different from each other, and wherein the high yield extruded capacitor film comprises equal to or greater than about 90 wt. % of the miscible polymer blend entering an extruder used for manufacturing the capacitor film, based on the total weight of miscible polymer blend prior to entering the extruder. |
