Making [[Insulators]] from Lunar Materials.

On Earth wires typically are made of layers which include [[organic polymers]]. Since organic materials are in short supply on the Moon, then what are the alternatives.

It might be possible to develop suitable flexible insulator materials by means of [[silicon polymer chemistry]].

One solution would be to import pre-insulated wires from Earth, but that would be expensive primarily due to the high weight of the metal wire [[conductors]. Another approach might be to import empty insulators sleeves, or [[sleeving]] material, then via a process such as [[heat-shrinking]] or [[extrusion]], attach the Earth-made insulation to lunar-made wires.
