Highly Stretchable, Strain Sensing Hydrogel Optical Fibers.
A core-clad fiber made of elastic, tough hydrogels is highly stretchable while guiding light. Fluorescent dyes are easily doped into the hydrogel fiber by diffusion. When stretched, the transmission spectrum of the fiber is altered, enabling the strain to be measured and also its location.
متن کاملOptical Characterization of Doped Thermoplastic and Thermosetting Polymer-Optical-Fibers
The emission properties of a graded-index thermoplastic polymer optical fiber and a step-index thermosetting one, both doped with rhodamine 6G, have been studied. The work includes a detailed analysis of the amplified spontaneous emission together with a study of the optical gains and losses of the fibers. The photostability of the emission of both types of fibers has also been investigated. Co...
متن کاملEnhanced Coarse-Graining of Thermoplastic Polyurethane Elastomer for Multiscale Modeling
The objective of this work is to develop a multiscale modeling tool of copolymers with long chains. We propose an enhanced coarse-graining method of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) with three beads. The proposed coarse-graining provides an accurate molecular modeling tool to keep the molecular interaction together with computational efficiency. The coarse-grained model with three beads is furt...
متن کاملMaterials, Mechanics, and Patterning Techniques for Elastomer-Based Stretchable Conductors
Stretchable electronics represent a new generation of electronics that utilize soft, deformable elastomers as the substrate or matrix instead of the traditional rigid printed circuit boards. As the most essential component of stretchable electronics, the conductors should meet the requirements for both high conductivity and the capability to maintain conductive under large deformations such as ...
متن کاملChemical Sensing Using Microbent Optical Fibers
Introduction Microbend loss has always been an undesirable effect causing problems in fiber optic communication links. However, this phenomenon has been exploited profitably in fabricating a variety of fiber optic sensors [1-46] and in other applications such as development of mode strippers and mode scramblers [47], mode filters, phase shifters [48,49], signal processing [50] etc. The sensing ...
