Preparation of Sn-Zn alloy coated PAN carbon fiber/PHFP organic optical fiber material
Plastic optical fiber(POF)cortical materials were prepared with Sn-Zn alloy coated polyacrylonitrile(PAN)carbon fibers and polyhexafluoropropylene(PHFP)as carrier.The changes of mechanical properties,transmission loss and optical strength of polystyrene plastic optical fibers matched with POF cortical materials were studied.The results show that Sn-Zn alloy coated PAN carbon fibers are tightly bonded with PHFP,which performs excellently as POF cortical material,and whose ability to transmit data information at speeds below 100 Mb/s within the most common working wavelength of 650 nm and within 100 m meets the requirements.The optical signals basically revolves around the fiber core material,and there is not much loss of optical signals due to the cortical material,indicating a high compatibility between the cortical material and polystyrene fiber core material.
