Abstract
Fluorozirconate glass fibres were drawn from rod preforms without a protective polymer coating and under a nitrogen atmosphere. Fibres which had been subsequently stored and tested under an inert atmosphere had strengths ranging between 0.12 and 0.32GPa. However, the strengths of fibres exposed to the atmosphere and under a relative humidity of 80% deteriorated to a limiting strength of about 0.09GPa after 4 days.
