Hi all,
Been doing the same search myself for a while now... I haven't made
an order yet, but a few promising leads:
www.pcbmaterialworld.com
probably your best bet to find exactly what you need. They appear to
stock all types of copper clad laminates, including flex, and I saw
an ad saying they would deal with hobbiests/researchers.
professionalplastics.com
k-mac-plastics.com
both of these places distribute the polyimide plastic (AKA kapton)
that is typically used as the laminate in flex boards. No copper
clad, but depending what you are hoping to do, it might help. Really
pricy stuff...
bare copper foil (if you are looking to do lamination yourself) is
available pretty much everywhere - including that first link, or
places like:
onlinemetals.com
basiccopper.com
Another great resource for more info about these materials and their
use is "Printed circuits handbook" by Clyde F. Coombs... in it's 5th
or 6th edition now.
If you get a chance, please let us know how things go - I'm looking
to start doing the same thing pretty quick here.
Cheers,
Brad
