Abstract: The present disclosure provides a dual layer heat shrink tube having: an inner polymeric layer and an outer polymeric layer. The disclosure further provides associated methods for preparing and using such tubes, as well as to products comprising such tubes.

Abstract: A heat shrink tubing, which can be readily peeled in the longitudinal direction after use (e.g., to remove the heat shrink tubing from an underlying material) is provided herein. The heat shrink tubing can be of various compositions, and generally is produced from at least one fluorinated, copolymeric resin. The tubing can exhibit desirable physical properties such as good optical clarity (e.g., translucency or transparency) and/or peelability, exhibiting one or more of complete, straight, and even peeling along a given length of tubing.

Abstract: Polymer optical fibers (POFs) including a polyamide core are described herein. The polyamide cores generally include one or more nylon polymers and are microcrystalline. The described POFs can have an operating temperature exceeding 150° C. and a calculated numerical aperture of 0.6 or greater.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides insulated electrical conductors, e.g., wires, and methods for producing such insulated electrical conductors to combat partial discharge by enhancing bond strength between the electrical conductor and a base insulating thermoplastic layer (e.g., including a PAEK). Such insulated electrical conductors can include: an electrical conductor; an insulating coating on at least a portion of a surface of the electrical conductor; and an oxide layer between the electrical conductor and the insulating coating. Methods for producing such insulated electrical conductors can involve extrusion of an insulating polymer onto the electrical conductor under ambient atmosphere and a subsequent heat treatment step, which can also be conducted under ambient atmosphere.
