Abstract:
Optical fiber cables (1001) comprising at least one optical fiber transmission medium (1006) and at least one elongated polymeric protective component (1002) surrounding at least a portion of the optical fiber transmission medium. The elongated polymeric protective component (1002) comprises a polymeric matrix material and a plurality of microcapillaries containing a polymeric microcapillary material, where the polymeric matrix material has a higher flexural modulus than the polymeric microcapillary material. Also disclosed are dies and methods for making such optical fiber cables and protective components.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an effective thermal grease comprising a hyperbranched olefinic fluid and a thermally conductive filler. Property-modifying additives and fillers may also be included. The hyperbranched olefinic fluid is selected to have an average of at least 1.5 methine carbons per oligomer molecule and at least 40 methine carbons per one thousand total carbons. The thermal grease exhibits a flash point of 180° C. or higher, a pour point of 0° C. or lower, and a kinematic viscosity at 40° C. of no more than 200 cSt (0.0002 m 2/s). The composition may offer improved thermal conductivity, reduced tendency to migrate, and lower cost when compared with many other thermal greases, including silicone-based thermal greases.
