Microstructural polymer optical fibres (mPOFs) were pioneered in Australia, are now comparable in performance (but much more versatile) than conventional polymer fibre, and are a highly attractive commercial option. Potential industrial applications envisage cost-effective preform fabrication as a key issue, with extrusion as the favoured route. This interdisciplinary project benefits Australia by (i) extending and exploiting our research advantages in advanced photonics and computational rheology, (ii) providing the 'missing link' for large-scale mPOF production and positioning us to reap the economic benefits of this innovative technology, and (iii) providing computational techniques for rheological modelling that are applicable in diverse Australian industry sectors.

微结构聚合物光纤（mPOFs）是澳大利亚首创的，现在在性能上与传统聚合物纤维相当（但用途更广泛），是一个非常有吸引力的商业选择。潜在的工业应用设想具有成本效益的预制体制造是一个关键问题，挤出是最受欢迎的途径。这个跨学科项目通过(i)扩展和利用我们在先进光子学和计算流变学方面的研究优势，（ii）为大规模mPOF生产提供“缺失环节”，并使我们能够获得这项创新技术的经济效益，以及（iii）为流变学建模提供适用于澳大利亚不同工业部门的计算技术，从而使澳大利亚受益。
