Abstract
A polishing film includes a plastic film and a polishing layer formed on its surface, having a mixture of a first group of silica particles with a first average diameter and a second group of silica particles with a second average diameter fixed in a resin binder, the first average diameter and the second diameter being different from each other and both within a range of 0.001-10 μm. The mixture of the two groups of silica particles has a granularity distribution curve with two peaks at two different diameter values corresponding to the first and second average diameters.
Claims1
A method of producing a polishing film for polishing end surface of an optical fiber connector, said method comprising the steps of:
- applying a paint on a surface of a plastic film, said paint being obtained by dispersing in a resin binder solution including oligomers with siloxane bonds a mixture of a first group of silica particles with average diameter of 0.02 μm and a second group of silica particles with average diameter of 0.03 μm, wherein said mixture has a granularity distribution curve with two peaks at two different diameter values 0.02 μm and 0.03 μm;
- drying said paint to form a polishing layer on said surface of said plastic film whereby said polishing film is produced;
- and
- thereafter forming on said surface of said plastic film by a heat treatment a polishing layer with a network of cracks on a surface thereof.
