Whats your opinion on the tufnol 1P/13Nidum said:
I'm looking to layer it on various various piezoelectric components. I'm testing these piezo components with an electro mechanical testing system but the "sheets" i lay on the top/bottom of these components cannot be conductive and withstand large forces (up to 10kN) at various frequenciesNidum said:Generally not as good as the other ones for more demanding engineering applications .
Tell me a bit more about what you need this material for and I can probably give a more detailed answer .
Is the 35MPa hydrostatic pressure or the axial pressure applied to a stack of components in a press ? If it is in a press then preventing extrusion of the sheet may be a problem.tbader said:I'm looking for a non-conductive material that can withstand pressures up to 35 MPa or about 5000 psi.
Its axial pressure by a press and no need to consider acoustic impedance. I think the suggestion for Tufnol is the best. What is your opinion on the material?Baluncore said:Is the 35MPa hydrostatic pressure or the axial pressure applied to a stack of components in a press ?

You might also consider testing pairs of piezoelectric components in opposition. That would electrically ground the outside of both units. In the same way a ceramic plate or a disconnected piezo element could be used as an insulator.
Do you need to consider acoustic impedance matching in the choice of material ?
Non-conductive material is a material that does not easily allow the flow of electricity. This means that it does not conduct electricity and is often used as an insulator to prevent electric shocks or short circuits.
Some examples of non-conductive materials include rubber, plastic, glass, and wood. These materials have high resistance to electricity and are commonly used in electrical equipment and wiring.
Non-conductive materials have high resistance to electricity and do not allow the flow of electrons, while conductive materials have low resistance and easily allow the flow of electrons. This means that conductive materials are used to conduct electricity, while non-conductive materials are used as insulators.
Non-conductive materials are important in electrical safety because they prevent electric shocks and short circuits. For example, a rubber coating on electrical wires acts as an insulator to prevent people from getting electrocuted when handling the wires.
In some cases, non-conductive material can become conductive. This can happen if the material is damaged or exposed to extreme temperatures or chemicals, which can alter its properties and allow the flow of electricity. It is important to regularly check and maintain non-conductive materials to ensure their safety and effectiveness.
