Plunkett of Dupont in 1930, he's in our Microwave Hall of Fame! PTFE is one of the miracle materials of microwave engineering, and is used in almost all coax cables and soft substrates! The history of PTFE can be found on this web site (updated February 2023 thanks to Vincent). Low water absorption. Properties vary by source. Often combined with other materials to increase dielectric constant or improve temperature stability. Can be exposed to -260°C to +260°C.
