A process of applying a fluid containing one or more additives to a surface of a linear substrate in a linear compartment. The process includes passing the linear substrate through first and second seals of the linear compartment, contacting the linear substrate with the fluid within a chamber within the linear compartment while an exposure gap has a first length that is greater than zero, the contacting being conducted for a time with the fluid at a temperature. The linear compartment is dimensionally reconfigurable, optionally during an infusion process. 1. A process of applying a fluid to a surface of a linear substrate in a linear compartment , the process comprising:defining an exposure gap between first and second seals along an axial length of the linear compartment;passing the linear substrate through first and second seals of the linear compartment; andcontacting the linear substrate with the fluid within a chamber within the linear compartment while the exposure gap has the first length that is greater than zero, the contacting being conducted for a time with the fluid at a temperature,wherein the time and the temperature are sufficient to apply the fluid to at least an outer surface of the linear substrate, andwherein the exposure gap is adjustable from a length of zero to greater than zero.2. The process of claim 1 , wherein the linear compartment comprises an inner processing vessel and an outer processing vessel claim 1 , the inner processing vessel and the outer processing vessel forming a nested arrangement along the axial length of the compartment claim 1 , the inner processing vessel being axially moveable relative to the outer processing vessel to define the exposure gap.3. The process of claim 1 , wherein the linear substrate is a polymeric linear substrate.4. The process of claim 1 , wherein the contacting further comprises infusing a component of the fluid into an the outer surface of the linear substrate.5. The process of claim 1 , wherein the ...
