Several thermoplastic polymers are suitable and commercially available [39 ,40 (link)] for a PL-POF core. We have chosen the cycloolefin (COP) polymer, which was previously identified as the best host material for a specific photoluminescent dye, Lumogen Red 305 (LR305), as the formation of dye aggregates is less pronounced in this material [15 (link)]. COP granulates (Zeonor 1020R, refractive index 1.53) were purchased from Zeon Europe GmbH, Düsseldorf, Germany. The photoluminescent dye, LR305 (BASF, Basel, Switzerland), was added to the COP core at a concentration of 0.01 wt.%. The terpolymer of tetrafluoroethylene, hexafluoropropylene and vinylidene fluoride polymer (THVP), has become a common choice for the sheath material of melt-processed POFs [12 (link),15 (link),29 (link),31 (link)]. THVP is characterized by good transparency, low RI, good melt-spinnability, and semi-crystallinity [41 (link)]. THVP granulates (THVP 2030GZ, RI = 1.35) were purchased from 3M GmbH, Rüschlikon, Switzerland. Acetone and methoxyperfluorobutane were purchased from Sigma Aldrich, Buchs, Switzerland, in order to remove the sheath for subsequent studies of the optical and structural properties of the core material. All materials were used as provided without purification.
About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
