another example of what your saying is... kraft paper... which may be listed generically as having a dielectric constant of say approx 2.5.
But this really depends on how much calendaring the kraft paper has had done to it--- calendar it a lot and you decrease the amount of air captured in the paper and the constant goes up. Also--- keep in mind that if the material in question is relatively "porous" and it is going to be impregnated then the dielectric qualities of the impgrenant are perhaps dominant.Another excellent example of this phenomenon is Goretex... which is from the teflon family--- and depending on which GT your talking about--- has dielectric constants as low as say 1.3--- but largely from injecting a lot of air into the teflon--- making it a not very good mechanical platform.
