Applications of High Performance Fibres in Networking and Communication

A. Murugesan

Abstract


Over the last 5 years the global fibre market has moved further into a global commodity market. This change is redefining and accelerating global trade patterns at all levels of the high value chain. The development of special fibers is the consequence of merging fundamentals scientific and technical knowledge, as there is a quest for high performance fibres. Thus, constant and continued endeavors of fibre scientists jointly ventured with material technologies had made dreams into reality. These special fibres totally provide the potential for providing new technology. Over all world textiles, challenging a continued growth of hi-tech fibres in various fields. These fibres have high tenacity, high strength to weight ratio which are the prerequisites characteristics of industrial textiles.  

These find applications in every walk of life including Space, Ocean, composites, aircrafts, defense automobile and many more. Our present paper deals with these special fibres and explores the wealth of their properties and application.
