parts. Molded epoxy parts are hard, rigid, relatively brittle, and have excellent dimensional stability over a broad temperature range. Some fiber-reinforced formulations can withstand service temperatures above 500 F for brief periods. Their excellent electrical properties, in combination with high

or aramid, carbon adds considerable strength and stiffness to engineering resins. In chopped form, molding procedures of carbon-reinforced composites is essentially the same as those used for glass-reinforced compounds. In tape form, often with an epoxy resin, the fibers are usually laid up

Fiber Optic Connector Epoxy
There are a number of fiber optic connector epoxies on the market that offer a range of curing options, depending on their specific chemical compositions. All of these fiber optic connector epoxies require that manufacturer recommendations be followed explicitly, particularly in regard to curing

Epoxy Value On-Line Monitoring with a ChemView(R) Photometer
Purpose: To measure epoxy value and starting liquid resin content with the two-probe SimulplexTM ChemView(R) photometer and fiber optic insertion probes with simple, easy-to-maintain, linear calibrations. Approach: The NIR peak at 2208 nm is traditionally used to measure epoxy value. However

Fiber-Optic Connections
of LEDs rather than laser launchers. Most connectors use an epoxy/polish termination. After the fiber is stripped to the proper dimension, it is attached with epoxy to the connector. Strengthening members are then crimped to the connector body. Finally, the fiber-connector end is polished to a fine
