Abstract
The metamorphosis of tuPOY from basic organic raw materials to an advanced conducting fiber having metallic properties is discussed in this chapter. A step by step process of embedding conduction and radiation properties in tuPOY, with an elaborated stagewise analysis is presented. The production process is justified with parametric evaluation and analysis. Production process flow from a commercial manufacturing viewpoint is outlined.
