Interfacial adhesion between embedded fibre optic sensors and epoxy matrix in composites
摘要： Fibre optic (FO) sensors are becoming increasingly popular for different applications in structural monitoring. Among their excellent properties, a strong interest for this type of sensors are represented by the possibility of embedding FOs inside composite components. In this case, one of the factors that significantly influence the efficiency of the whole Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) system is the interfacial adhesion between FO sensors and the host material. The main objective of this work is to investigate the interfacial adhesion between embedded fibre optic sensors and epoxy matrix to find the best type of optical fibre to be used in epoxy matrices to produce smart composites. Four types of optical fibres with different diameters and coatings (i.e. polyimide, polyacrylate and ormoceramic) were used. Pull-out tests were carried out and different methods were used to obtain the composite/optical fibre interfacial properties. Finally, an optical microscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis were performed to characterize the fibre/matrix interfaces. It was found that the optical fibre that presented the highest energy required for interface rupture and, consequently, less invasiveness to the host material was the ormoceramic fibre with the smallest diameter.

Amphibious sensor of temperature and refractive index based on D-shaped photonic crystal fibre filled with liquid crystal
摘要： A D-shaped photonic crystal fibre filled with liquid crystal was demonstrated as an amphibious sensor for detection of both temperature and refractive index, when combined with plasma materials. Specifically, the optical component is implanted into a complete optical system ensuring modulation of the external electric field. When the refractive index of the external solution changes from 1.0 to 1.6, the y-polarised mode has a loss spectrum with a wavelength sensitivity of up to 2275 nm/RIU, and the corresponding amplitude sensitivity is ?88.2RIU?1. When the perceived temperature changes from 15°C to 50°C, the temperature of the sensor is correspondingly expressed as the maximum wavelength sensitivity of 9.09 nm/°C and the amplitude sensitivity of ?0.311°C?1. In addition, the actual micro-operation processes have been studied in detail, such as polishing depth, coating thickness and coating method. This provides practical ideas for real-time sensing analysis that requires harsh environments.
