CURED COMPOSITE, PROCESSES AND COMPOSITION

摘要

The present invention as disclosed provides a process for producing a cured composite comprising the steps of: a) concurrently and coaxially extruding: i.) a molten cladding polymer through an annular channel of a coextrusion die to form an extruded tubular cladding, and ii) a crosslinkable core mixture through a core mixture delivery tube of the coextrusion die to form an extruded crosslinkable core mixture within the circumference of the extruded tubular cladding; b) filling the extruded tubular cladding with the extruded crosslinkable core mixture; and c) curing the crosslinkable core mixture within the tubular cladding. Steps (a), (b) and (c) of this process may be continuous. The above process may be used in making composites such as data transmission cables, connectors for coaxial conduits and light pipes, light pipes and flexible light pipes (FLPs) for use in various lighting applications, etc.
