Abstract
Nowadays, energy resources are rapidly depleted and energy costs have risen. Therefore, the efficient use of energy resources has gained importance. The use of energy-saving fiber optic lighting systems has increased. In this study, PMMA and PS (crystal) polymers with high optical properties were used. The manufacture of fiber optic cable for the purpose of lighting by extrusion method was realized experimentally. The samples were manufactured at four different temperatures, three different production rates and two different forms. Fiber optic cables with different lengths and forms were compared in terms of light intensity. As a result of the study, the sample manufactured in PMMA was found to be better than the samples in PS. The best light intensity values of PMMA samples were observed at 2.2 m min at 220 o C. On the other hand, the best light intensity was achieved in PS samples at 205 o C at 2.4 m/min. In addition, it was observed that there was an increase (10-17%) in the light intensity hollow rod samples compared to rod samples.
Highlights
Fiber optic lighting system is the movement of light from a light source to the desired target point with the help of fiber optic cables
Compared PMMA, PF, PC, PS polymers used in the manufacture of fiber optic cables; and found that fiber optic cables manufactured with PF were better in communication field than others
It is aimed to determine the process conditions of PMMA, PS polymers used in the manufacture of fiber optic cables that transmit light in lighting and at the same time, it is aimed to produce a more efficient fiber optic cable by creating a space along the 1.5 mm diameter cable
Summary
Fiber optic lighting system is the movement of light from a light source to the desired target point with the help of fiber optic cables. Compared PMMA, PF, PC, PS polymers used in the manufacture of fiber optic cables; and found that fiber optic cables manufactured with PF were better in communication field than others They stated that the other polymers used in the comparison could be used in the areas as automotive, electronics, lighting, etc. It is aimed to determine the process conditions of PMMA, PS polymers used in the manufacture of fiber optic cables that transmit light in lighting and at the same time, it is aimed to produce a more efficient fiber optic cable by creating a space along the 1.5 mm diameter cable. In the literature no studies have been found on providing light transmission efficiency and gas output by creating a space in the middle of the large diameter fiber optic cables used in lighting.
