An organic polymeric compound called a Furuta or para-Furuta polymer is characterized by polarizability and resistivity has repeating units of a general structural formula:

##STR00001##

P1 may be acrylate, methacrylate, polypropylene, polyethylene, polyamide, polyaramid, polyester, siloxane, or polyethylene terephthalate. Tail is a resistive substitute. L is a linker group attached to an ionic functional group Q; j, a number of ionic functional groups Q, ranges from 1 to 5; n and m independently range from 3 to about 1000. Q is an ionic liquid ion, zwitterion, or polymeric acid. The number t ranges from 6 to 200,000. B is a counter ion, that can supply an opposite charge to balance a charge of the organic polymeric compound; s is a number of counter ions B. A plasticizer increases mobility of the polymers within the compound.
