"Original abstract The polymer optical fiber with trade name Flexi was used in this research, because of its flexibility and the range of diameters available in the market. These fibers were dyed using commercial disperse dye under various conditions of dye concentration and dyeing time. Samples were analyzed for side emission of light with the use of an instrument which was specifically designed for the measurement of this nature. The results showed that the dye penetration is dependent on time, if dye concentration and temperature are kept constant. After 40 min of dyeing, the fiber core showed an increase in side emission with lower loss due to attenuation. Excessive time in the hot conditions also degraded the fiber, so that the fiber became very stiff and brittle. Fibers were also subjected to heat, in the form of boiling water bath, for selected periods of time, and it was found that the effect was similar to that of the prior experiments. Surface treatment of Flexi fibers was carried out using ethyl acetate as an etching agent, to possibly accept more disperse dye on the fiber surface. The results after dyeing showed a more significant improvement in both side emission and attenuation of light."@en . "109089" . "KR - Korejsk\u00E1 republika" . .
