This disclosure generally pertains to a method for manufacturing a distributed optical fiber scrim comprising a functional optical fiber, the functional optical fiber scrim thus manufactured, and composites in which an optical fiber scrim is incorporated. The present disclosure describes a variety of textile scrims, particularly adhesively bonded nonwoven scrim materials, each comprising at least one optical fiber with a continuous path across at least the length or width of the fabric. Such optical fiber scrims may be useful as sensor components (for example, as a detector of breakage, strain, pressure, or torque), as illumination components (for example, in a variety of light- providing applications), or as data-distribution components, either alone or in combination with other materials, such as fabrics, films, foams, and the like.
La présente invention concerne un procédé de fabrication d'un tissu en fibres optiques distribuées à partir d'une fibre optique fonctionnelle. Elle concerne également le tissu en fibres optiques fonctionnelles obtenu, ainsi que des composés intégrant un tissu en fibres optiques. L'invention porte sur différents tissus textiles, en particulier des étoffes non tissées par liant, comprenant tous au moins une fibre optique continue qui traverse la longueur et/ou la largeur du tissu. Ce type de tissu en fibres optiques peut être utilisé en tant qu'élément capteur (par exemple, capteur de rupture, de force, de pression ou de couple), composant d'éclairage (par exemple, dans différentes applications de production lumineuse) ou composant de distribution de données et ce, de façon autonome ou en association avec d'autres matériaux de type étoffes, films, mousses, etc.
