The invention also provides a preparation method of the plastic optical fiber coated by the graphene layer.
Background
With the rapid expansion of multimedia services such as Internet data communication, video on demand, video phones, video conferences and the like, higher requirements are put on the broadband and high-speed of physical networks, and the transmission networks from fiber to the home and from fiber to the desktop gradually replace the existing photoelectric mixed form to become the most ideal transmission network. In all-optical switching networks, the research of laying home-to-home optical fiber communication network technology using Plastic Optical Fiber (POF) in combination with quartz optical fiber has become a hot spot of the optical fiber communication technology research. The plastic optical fiber is equivalent to a symmetrical cable in cost in high-speed short-distance communication transmission, the transmission bandwidth can reach several GHz within the range of 100m, and the plastic optical fiber has the advantages of easiness in connection, good flexibility, easiness in bending and the like. The POF for communication is matched with the quartz optical fiber, the POF can play a role at the tail end (home integrated wiring) of the FTTH, and the difficult problem of access of last hundreds of meters can be solved. At present, the whole society advocates low-carbon construction, uses more environment-friendly plastic optical fiber, and is more competitive compared with copper cable products such as five-type wires. With the further speed increase of broadband construction in the global scope, the Fiber To The Home (FTTH) market prospect is wide, and the plastic optical fiber is one of the most suitable technical means. The intelligent household appliances (such as household PC, HDTV, telephone, digital imaging equipment, household safety equipment, air conditioner, refrigerator, sound system, kitchen appliance and the like) can be networked through the plastic optical fiber, so that the household automation and remote control management are realized, and the life quality is improved; through the plastic optical fiber, the networking of office equipment can be realized, if the computer networking can realize the computer parallel processing, the high-speed transmission of data between office equipment can greatly improve the working efficiency, realize teleworking etc.. However, at present, the improvement of the heat resistance and the reduction of the loss of the plastic optical fiber in practical application are the biggest obstacles for further popularization and application, and are also research hotspots in the field. At present, plastic optical fibers with temperature resistance up to 120 ℃ are obtained through continuous development and exploration, and further improvement of the heat resistance of the plastic optical fibers needs continuous efforts. The plastic optical fiber loss is related to the material structure such as carbon-hydrogen bond characteristics on one hand, and the mechanical loss on the other hand. Graded fluoroplastic fibers have been developed to reduce structure-dependent losses, but mechanical loss reduction measures are currently under investigation. In fact, the research shows that the coating of carbon on the surface of the quartz optical fiber can isolate the surface of the optical fiber from the outside by using a dense carbon film layer, thereby improving the mechanical fatigue loss and the loss of hydrogen molecules of the optical fiber. However, carbon coatings tend to require high temperature operation and are therefore currently only suitable for high temperature resistant silica optical fibers and are not used for more severe loss and more critically reduced plastic optical fibers. Therefore, there is a need to develop new techniques to make plastic optical fibers advance in improving heat resistance and reducing mechanical loss. Therefore, the application firstly proposes that the plastic optical fiber is coated with the graphene layer internationally, so that the high heat-conducting property of the graphene is utilized to improve the heat-resistant property of the plastic optical fiber, and the plastic optical fiber is promoted to better serve the society. The graphene layer coated plastic optical fiber is prepared by coating a graphene derivative layer on a plastic optical fiber to form a composite plastic optical fiber, then enabling the composite plastic optical fiber to move in a non-oxidizing atmosphere at a set speed, enabling the composite plastic optical fiber to pass through a microwave heating zone, rapidly heating the graphene derivative layer in a limited short time by using microwaves by utilizing the microwave absorption capacity of the graphene derivative, and then rapidly cooling the graphene layer coated plastic optical fiber. The application of the application can help the plastic optical fiber to be popularized and applied better in society.

Detailed Description
The invention will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Firstly, a plastic optical fiber 1 passes through a solution 2a in a soaking pool 2 through a guide wheel 11 to be coated with a graphene derivative solution, then the composite plastic optical fiber coated with a graphene derivative layer is squeezed to remove redundant solution through a squeezing roller 3, then the composite plastic optical fiber is dried through a drying room 4, then the composite plastic optical fiber enters a front temperature control area 5, the temperature of the composite plastic optical fiber before entering microwave heating is controlled by setting temperature circulating fluid through a temperature control fluid inlet 5a (such as air, water and the like with a certain temperature) and a temperature control fluid outlet 5b, and then the composite plastic optical fiber enters a microwave oven 7 protected by a metal baffle 6 with small holes.

As shown in fig. 2.
The plastic optical fiber surface is converted into a graphene layer after being coated with a graphene derivative layer, which is a challenge to be solved. Except for the long-time treatment at the extremely high temperature, the carbon content of the graphene derivative treated by the common chemical reduction and high-temperature reduction method hardly exceeds 90 percent, and the long-time treatment at the extremely high temperature not only consumes large energy, but also damages the thin-layer structure of the graphene derivative. There is therefore an urgent need to develop new techniques to convert graphene derivative layers into graphene layers. Therefore, the invention firstly utilizes the characteristic that the graphene derivative has microwave absorption characteristic and the characteristic that the microwave has rapid temperature rise internationally, and the graphene derivative layer passes through the microwave heating zone at a set speed in a set atmosphere, so that the graphene derivative layer is heated and processed under the conditions of accurately controlling the heating time and avoiding uneven heating, and the graphene derivative layer is converted into the graphene layer. In fact, there have been some related studies on the application of microwave treatment to graphene-related materials. For example, one method for preparing graphene oxide is to microwave-treat graphite oxide, and separate few layers or even single layers of graphene oxide from each other by microwave heating to a high temperature of more than two thousand degrees celsius, which causes a large amount of gas to be generated inside the graphite oxide. And the graphene oxide can be almost completely reduced at high temperature of more than two thousand degrees centigrade to be converted into graphene. Our experiments show that graphene derivatives including graphene oxide, reduced graphene oxide and graphene edge derivatives can be efficiently converted into graphene by microwave heating treatment in a non-oxidizing atmosphere. The problem is that the common microwave heating treatment has high local temperature due to centralized heating, so that severe reaction generates gas and the structure of the graphene derivative material is damaged, and the graphene derivative layer becomes fragments, so that the microwave heating process must be effectively controlled to effectively treat the graphene derivative at high temperature and avoid the damage of the severe reaction to the structure of the graphene derivative material. Our experiments show that the graphene derivatives can be effectively converted into graphene by short-time microwave heating for less than 3 seconds under a set atmosphere, but since rapid expansion of gases including moisture generated by reduction is an important pushing hand for causing structural damage of the graphene derivatives, we have generated an idea of avoiding rapid expansion, such as water vapor generated by reduction due to rapid cooling. Experiments show that the structure of the graphene derivative material can be well maintained and the graphene derivative material can be finally converted into the graphene material due to the fact that the graphene derivative material is rapidly heated by microwaves and gas generated by rapid cooling reduction under the condition of introducing cold nitrogen. Of course, heating the material while cooling with the introduction of cooled nitrogen gas is still desired from the viewpoint of energy consumption. Another problem of microwave heating treatment of graphene derivative materials is the problem of uneven heating of a microwave heating area, which is related to the uniformity of a heating electric field in a microwave oven, and although the uniformity of heating in the microwave oven can be improved by designing a curved antenna structure, the uneven heating of the electric field is difficult to avoid, and the effect of uneven heating causes the effect of converting graphene derivative materials into graphene to be different in different areas and affects the overall performance, and if the heating time is prolonged, it may happen that a part of graphene derivative materials are damaged due to overheating, and another part of graphene derivative materials may not be well reduced. Therefore, in order to reduce the increase of energy consumption caused by the cooling of the cooling fluid while microwave heating and improve the uniformity of the microwave heating treatment, a method is considered in which the graphene derivative material is heated by a microwave heating zone at a set speed under a set atmosphere to accurately control the heating time, and then is rapidly cooled, so that the graphene derivative in all the zones can be relatively uniformly heated by the whole microwave heating zone, and after the microwave heating is finished, the graphene derivative is cooled at room temperature unless the temperature is specially reduced, and then is cooled by a cooling device after leaving the microwave oven, so that the energy consumption of the cooling is reduced. Experiments show that the method has good effect, the content of carbon in the graphene layer exceeds 90% for the graphene derivative layer to be converted into the graphene layer, and the common graphite is nearly completely reduced due to the fact that 3% of oxygen is adsorbed by the common graphite, and the graphene derivative layer has good electrical property.

The mixture was further washed with an excess of water until the pH of the filtrate was almost neutral to obtain graphene oxide. The graphene oxide was then dispersed in water and reduced with hydrazine hydrate at 80 degrees celsius for 12 hours. Reduced graphene oxide formed as a black precipitate, collected by filtration through a 0.45 μm PTFE membrane, and rinsed with copious amounts of water.
