A self-bonding conductive wire and methods in which it is made and used. The wire comprises a conductor, an insulator, and a self-bonding outer coating. The self-bonding outer coating is a polyester polyether block copolymer. The insulator is an ethylene/tetrafluoroethylene copolymer, one or more layers of which may be used to insulate the conductor. The self-bonding capabilities of the wire may be activated by heating the wire, causing the outer coating to thermoplastically deform and fuse, allowing for the creation of self-supporting structures such as large bobbin-less coils. The use of the polyester polyether block copolymer for the self-bonding outer coating is superior to other materials, in which significant degradation of qualitative properties following self-bonding is observed, resulting in a superior self-bonding conductive wire.
