“…In addition to the above-mentioned molecular mobility, the polarity control of structural units in polymers is important for suppressing DF. Figure 6 shows the relationship between ε r and tan δ in the range of 1-20 GHz for common polymers and conventional PIs: (1) PTFE [48], (2) cyclo-olefin polymer (COP, ZEONOR ® ) [48], (3) polyethylene (PE) [49], (4) poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene ether) (PPE) [50], ( 5) poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) [51], ( 6) poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) [51,52], (7) polyarylate (PAr, bisphenol A/isophthaloyl chloride) [53], (8) liquid-crystalline polyester (LCP, Vecstar ® ) [54,55], (9) poly(ether sulfone) (PES) [56], (10) PI (s-BPDA/p-PDA), ( 11) PI (PMDA/4,4 ′ -ODA), ( 12) poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) [57], and (13) epoxy resin (EP, bisphenol A diglycidyl ether/4,4 ′ -diaminodiphenyl sulfone) [58]. A rough correlation is observed over the wide ranges of tan δ (0.0001-0.1) and ε r (2-4).…”
