The present invention is concerned with a dielectric material comprising a fluoropolymer, wherein at least part of the crystalline region of the fluoropolymer is in the β-phase. The dielectric material of the present invention may show relaxor-like ferroelectricity. The present invention also relates to a novel method of producing such a material, and the use of such a material in a high energy density capacitor. The method comprises layering sheets of PVDF on one another and applying pressure to the multilayer under a temperature which is preferably within 40° C. of the temperature of fusion. Further, the film is preferably quenched.
