Monofilament, including drawn fiber, is extruded from molten polymer resin materials. These resins include very-long-chain polymer molecules. In the melt phase, these molecules are arranged in a ...
Newly developed hardware for making high-transmission optical fiber in zero gravity has arrived at the International Space Station (ISS). Launched last week on board a Cygnus cargo ship carrying more ...
A novel temperature-dependent viscosity mediated strategy proposed by researchers at South China University of Technology was able to suppress the deactivation of Bi dopants during the fiber drawing ...
