For many avionics applications, the possibility of operating fibers under high temperatures is desirable. Films of polymer fiber cladding were tested at 250°C for periods of up to 10 hours. During this heating, significant changes in Young's modulus, refractive index, weight, hardness, strength, elongation and Tg were observed, although some changes were much less than others. In our 150 °C study...
