Description
This paper reports on the search undertaken since 1987 by a part of the WALIC collaboration to find new materials for the construction of ionizing detectors filled with room temperature liquid hydrocarbons, tetramethylsilane and tetramethylpentane. We have found that several metals, glasses, plastics and glues, very promising for their mechanical, electrical, and radiation hardness properties, can be put into contact with these liquids without observing, during the drift time, any significant decrease in the lifetime of the electrons created by ionization.
