プラスチック光伝送繊維に関する。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a plastic optical transmission fiber having a core-sheath structure and having excellent UV resistance.
光伝送繊維は、従来カラス系材料を基体として製造され
、光信号伝送媒体として機器間や機器内の計測制御用、

となどの理由から、最近これをプラスチックで作る試み
が種々提案されている。Optical transmission fibers have traditionally been manufactured using glass-based materials as a base material, and are used as optical signal transmission media for measurement control between devices and within devices.
It is widely used for data transmission, medical purposes, decoration, and image transmission. However, optical transmission fibers based on glass-based materials have the disadvantage of poor flexibility unless the fibers are made with a thin inner diameter, are easily broken, have a high specific gravity, and are expensive, including connectors. For these reasons, various attempts have been recently made to make them from plastic.

すぐれている。The major characteristics of using plastic are that it is lightweight, and even fibers with a thick inner diameter are strong and flexible.Therefore, high apertures and large diameters are possible, and it is easy to combine with light receiving and emitting elements. It has excellent operability. A general method of manufacturing such a light transmission edge a using plastic is to use a plastic with a large refractive index and good light transmission as a core component, and a plastic with a smaller refractive index and transparent material as a core component. A fiber having a single core-sheath structure is formed by using plastic as the sheath component. This method transmits light by reflecting it at the core-sheath interface, and the greater the difference in refractive index between the plastics that make up the core and sheath, the better the light transmission properties.
光透過性の高いプラスチックとしては、無定形の材料が
好ましく、工業的にはポリメタクリル酸メチルや、ポリ
スチレンが注目される材料である(例えば、特公昭4B
−8978号公報)。As a plastic with high light transmittance, an amorphous material is preferable, and polymethyl methacrylate and polystyrene are attracting attention industrially (for example,
-8978 Publication).
しかし、このようなプラスチック光伝送繊維は、紫外線

光信号媒体として信頼性に欠ける場合があった。また、

や適用個所に制限が生ずる。However, in such plastic optical transmission fibers, the transmission loss decreases due to ultraviolet rays, and the decrease value is large.
As an optical signal medium, it sometimes lacked reliability. Also,
It has a drawback in heat resistance, and when it is applied to moving objects such as automobiles, ships, aircraft, and robots, there are restrictions on the uses and places where it can be applied.

維を提供するものである。The inventors of the present invention have grappled with the current situation, and as a result of intensive study on the development of a plastic optical transmission fiber with excellent ultraviolet resistance, they have arrived at an uninvented invention. That is, the present invention provides a plastic optical transmission fiber having a core-sheath structure having a core component of a polymer mainly composed of methyl methacrylate, which has the general formula (A): (where R1 is hydrogen and halogen is , R2 is hydrogen or an alkyl group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, and R2 is an alkyl group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms.

実用上可撓性が不充分であり好ましくない。The polymer mainly composed of methyl methacrylate used as the core component in the present invention is a homopolymer or a copolymer of methyl methacrylate containing at least 60% by weight of repeating units of methyl methacrylate, and includes ethyl methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate,
Propyl methacrylate, butyl methacrylate, isobutyl methacrylate, and cyclohexyl methacrylate are copolymers having a methacrylic ester with an 8818 type hydrocarbon group having 8 to 20 carbon atoms in the ester moiety, and copolymers containing these and 10% by weight. - The following copolymers such as methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate are useful. Among these, a copolymer containing 70% or more of methyl methacrylate units is particularly preferred as a core component because it is highly pure, extremely transparent, and easily available. The proportion of the methacrylic acid ester component having 8 or more alicyclic hydrocarbon groups is 8 to 40% by weight based on the entire core component polymer. When it is less than 3%, the flexibility is excellent, but the contribution of the core component itself to improving heat resistance is small; on the other hand, when it exceeds 40%, the heat resistance is excellent, but
Practically speaking, the flexibility is insufficient and undesirable.

Foreign matter contained therein will not mix into the polymer, and
Since there is a possibility that foreign substances may be mixed in during the dehydration process, if necessary, foreign substances such as dust are removed by filtration or distillation before polymerization. A more desirable method is to first produce the core component polymer in two steps: a slow bulk polymerization step at high temperature, followed by a continuous separation step of volatile components mainly containing residual unreacted monomers; Furthermore, there is a method in which the manufacturing step of the core component polymer and the manufacturing step of the optical transmission fiber are performed in a continuous process. It is also desirable to carry out bulk polymerization of the core component, and then form the core component and sheath component from the resulting monopolymer by double extrusion.
