This review paper summarizes the current state of research into polymer optical fibre grating
sensors. The properties of polymers are explored to identify situations where polymers offer …

Blends of nanosized pigment particles and polymers are widely believed to offer the
potential for the design of novel or at least improved materials. This review critically …

An investigation of the thermal annealing effects on the strain, stress, and force sensitivities
of polymer optical fiber Bragg grating sensors is performed. We demonstrate for the first time …

Advantages such as sensibility in bending, high fracture toughness, and high sensibility in
strain enable the application of polymer optical fibers as sensors for strain, temperature …

The transverse light-shift can induce non-negligible polarization error in the output signal of
spin-exchange relaxation-free (SERF) co-magnetometer. In this paper, a novel method for …

A systematic study of annealing behavior of drawn PMMA fibers was performed. Annealing
dynamics were investigated under different environmental conditions by fiber longitudinal …

It has been believed that stereo-irregular polymers hardly form crystalline structure because
of the deficient ordering along the backbone direction. Here we show the crystallization of …

Birefringence in stable glasses produced by physical vapor deposition often implies
molecular alignment similar to liquid crystals. As such, it remains unclear whether these …

In this article, a geometrical optimization procedure using biconical tapered fiber sensors is
proposed for monitoring the early‐age curing temperatures of concrete specimens. The …

Abstract The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) Central Detector (CD) is
a huge acrylic spherical vessel containing 20,000 tons of liquid scintillator; the sphere is …
