This is a duplicate of a question asked on the Other Topics forum:
What is the best insulating material to use at these frequencies? I'm thinking about a material to bind copper wire strands together. Ideally the material should have good mechanical properties, as well as no UHF heating (or shielding).
My first thought was epoxy-resin, since this allows me to position the wires first before setting. I'm willing to consider other plastics, but am keen to avoid expensive injection mold tooling. I have used Nylon in the past, since this can be machined. A friend has even suggested glass or carbon reinforced resin, since these are very robust for a given weight.
Does anyone have any ideas/suggestions?
