Organic polymers for use in laminates including capacitors, wherein the polymer includes repeat units of the formula:
wherein: each R
1
is independently H, an aryl group, Cl, Br, I, or an organic group that includes a crosslinkable group; each R
2
is independently H, an aryl group or R
4
; each R
3
is independently H or methyl; each R
5
is independently an alkyl group, a halogen, or R
4
; each R
4
is independently an organic group that includes at least one CN group and has a molecular weight of about 30 to about 200 per CN group; and n=0-3; with the proviso that at least one repeat unit in the polymer includes an R
4
.
