If I interpret your question correctly, it's meaningless.

Polymer capacitors (ie, plastic-dielectric caps, such as polystryrene,
Mylar, and Teflon) simply cannot produce the huge capacitances in small
spaces that electrolytics can. They cannot easily replace
electrolytics.



How about ceramic caps?


You cannot get large capacitance values in a small package size with a
ceramic dielectric.
