The effects of plasma discharge time, power, liquid phase acrylic acid temperature and environmental temperature on grafting yield were investigated. The existence of grafted polyacrylic acid (PAA) was verified by ESCA and ATR FT-IR. The morphology of grafted PAA was directly observed by SEM. The wicking test shows that the hydrophilicity of modified PPMF is greatly enhanced. The dyeability test of modified PPMF was carried out using Dispersion Yellow. It was found that the dye uptake ratio is linear to the weight percent of grafting. The antistatic ability was indicated by specific resistance. The specific resistance of modified PPMF was reduced to 10(6) similar to 10(7) Ohm . cm, thus the antistatic ability was considerably improved.展开更多

Based on the improved fused taper technique, a high-quality microfibre with 5 ttm radius has been fabricated, and an all-fibre micro-ring resonator with a radius of only 500μm is realized using self-coiling coupling method. The good-resonant characteristic makes the all-fibre device be expected to avoid bendloss and connection loss associated with planar waveguide integration.展开更多
