- Abstract
Polymeric optical fiber is used as simple light guide and illumination applications. The polymer optical fiber material can be used in flexible lighting element which can be combined with textile structure. The POF woven fabrics are introduced as a flexible alternative to lighting elements. Simple polymath: Metacrylate PMMA and Polycarbonate PC fibres have been produced experimentally, through simple screw and conical extrusion. The fibre is integrated in woven structures by means of handloom, narrow fabric weaving & jacquard technology. Also, polymeric optical fibre made of PMMA used for simple light guide and data transmission applications. Perfluor (PF) polymer offer great new opportunities in the field of data communications because of low absorption losses. Optical poly carbonate (PC) and polystyrene (PS) are used special application. The manufacturing technology suitable for light emitting textile application and its opportunities in textile integration are discussed in this paper.
