Does anyone know dielectric constand for PEBAX?

Subject line says it all. I've asked several times at vendors, no luck.
They always think it's dielectric strength, but I need to calculate a
capacitance.

Only need a ballpark number.

 

Ya well, I entered all my stuff and when clicking on create account
nothing happens. Many web site designers aren't worth their salt these days.

It's unbelievable but in some such cases I actually have to get a sample
and measure.

 

Thanks, didn't think about the word permittivity because that was never
used at my schools. 13 would be ugly. The question is where does it
begin to rise? I need to operate in the 150-400kHz range. Maybe I just
assume 4 and knock on wood

 

Agreed. My chemistry knowledge says it should behaves something like
nylon. Not sure what the polyether part would do, electrically, but hey,
it's in the ballpark. That would put the loss tangent around 1% and K
around 4 or so. You wouldn't want to take it into the microwave, but I
doubt it'll melt from 400kHz applied to bulk material.

It ain't my choice, and it's actually going into the blood stream. It's
a sheath, a standard medical utensil in the world of catheters that goes
in before anything else does. I already dread the lead vests during
clinicals, those give me a back pain.

Note to self: Must lose weight before that.

Hello Joerg,

You may visit matweb

Depending on chemistry (formulation) Dielectric Constant seems to vary between 4 and 9.5 (general page on PEBA on matweb).

 

Move to Spain for the winter to escape the cold?

Hmmm ... where did you find the dielectric constant in there?

I copied the wrong link...

The general data is in:
http://www.matweb.com/search/DataSheet.aspx?MatGUID=57b805a667ee48f7b58b3fd8df1fa17b

It mentions 4 to 9.5

From the list of products, click on of the products with the red dots
(EMS Grivory).
http://www.matweb.com/search/DataSheet.aspx?MatGUID=1c7c7eccbcc24fb8b7049bccbfaa5ea4

This will show you product data.

You are right, the wheater in Spain is better then the rain over here
(around 20 degr. C. in Malaga).

 

Thanks, Jim. Got it.

 

I think I'll assume 7 for now and call it a day. If I provide enough
margin in the calcs it should be ok.

Wish I was there ...
