Polypropylene Microfibers with a Filler in the Nanostate [PDF]
Chemistry & Chemical Technology, 2010 The physico-chemical regularities of polypropylene microfibers obtained via processing polypropylene/copolyamide (PP/CPA) mixture melts filled with nanosilicas have been investigated. It has been shown that the chemical nature of silica functional groups affects the viscosity of PP/CPA melts.

Microfiber Optical Sensors: A Review
Sensors, 2014 With diameter close to or below the wavelength of guided light and high index contrast between the fiber core and the surrounding, an optical microfiber shows a variety of interesting waveguiding properties, including widely tailorable optical confinement, evanescent fields and waveguide dispersion.

Effective transfer of micron-size graphene to microfibers for photonic applications
, 2016 We demonstrate an effective approach to transferring micron-size CVD graphene layers onto freestanding microfibers. With micro-manipulation, the coating position and length of the graphene films can be precisely controlled. By coating micrometer-scale (e.
