Abstract

A low wt. resistant porous glass fiber with a developed sp. surface area of 5-120 times the outer surface of a std. glass fiber, and a material having phys., chem. or biol. reactive properties deposited on the developed surface area of porous glass fiber are described. Another low wt. resistant porous glass fiber with a developed sp. surface area of 20-200 times the outer surface of a std. glass fiber is presented. The developed surface of porous glass fiber is coated with a support material for a material which has phys., chem. or biol. reactive properties and which is deposited on the intermediate support material covering the porous glass fiber. Corresponding prepn. processes and various uses are described. [on SciFinder (R)]

Surface area

The surface area (symbol A) of a solid object is a measure of the total area that the surface of the object occupies. The mathematical definition of surface area in the presence of curved surfaces is considerably more involved than the definition of arc length of one-dimensional curves, or of the surface area for polyhedra (i.e., objects with flat polygonal faces), for which the surface area is the sum of the areas of its faces. Smooth surfaces, such as a sphere, are assigned surface area using their representation as parametric surfaces.

Optical fiber

An optical fiber, or optical fibre in Commonwealth English, is a flexible, transparent fiber made by drawing glass (silica) or plastic to a diameter slightly thicker than that of a human hair. Optical fibers are used most often as a means to transmit light between the two ends of the fiber and find wide usage in fiber-optic communications, where they permit transmission over longer distances and at higher bandwidths (data transfer rates) than electrical cables.

Composite material

A composite material (also called a composition material or shortened to composite, which is the common name) is a material which is produced from two or more constituent materials. These constituent materials have notably dissimilar chemical or physical properties and are merged to create a material with properties unlike the individual elements. Within the finished structure, the individual elements remain separate and distinct, distinguishing composites from mixtures and solid solutions.
