1、 Information Classification:General Fitting Lower Loss into More&Smaller Spaces Jack Frankosky,The Chemours Company ;+1(302)509-9318 Information Classification:General Abstract Chemours,initially as DuPont,began producing fluoropolymer resins following the discovery of PTFE in 1938.Along the way,cop

2、olymers were developed to permit manufacturing operations such as melt extrusion.This paper focuses on enhancements to fluoropolymer systems which enable improved performance in its incorporation in a variety of vehicles for signal transmission.Resins formulated for optimization of mechanical and el

3、ectrical performance improve adhesion(to copper,in particular),without sacrificing low loss characteristics.Signal integrity and lower transmission loss are further reduced by smoother conductors,mitigating loss mechanisms and signal path variation arising through skin-effects.This paper examines im

4、provements realized through the use of design space“accessible”through better adhesion,lower permittivity and lower loss tangent solutions.Current challenges,where this balance is reached,include cable assemblies(coaxial and other configurations);potential new structures which would benefit from the
