Adding conductive one-dimensional carbon nanomaterials to poly(dimethysiloxane) can form bio-compatible composites with significant electromechanical (piezoresistive) response. This effect can be effectively tuned by controlling the carbon nanofiller size, concentration, and distribution. However, to be applied as strain sensors, the composite material has to meet mechanical, sensitivity, temperature stability, and reliability requirements. Here we report on the study of cyclic electromechanical behaviors of poly(dimethysiloxane)/carbon nanofiber composites under different temperatures. Through mechanical training, reproducible and sensitive piezoresistive response suitable for large strain sensing can be obtained.

A kind of flexible, conductive polypyrrole–coated polyurethane (PPy/PU) fibers was fabricated by controlled chemical polymerization and its strain sensing ability was evaluated. The as-prepared fibers possessed high conductivity with a maximum value of 10-1 (Ω•cm)-1, and highly elastic nature of the PU matrix. It is further found that dense PPy layer was covered uniformly onto PU fiber surface, and an interpenetrating interface and strong hydrogen bonding interaction could be observed, which greatly benefited their high structural stability. More importantly, the composite fibers exhibited a wide strain deformation range up to 250% and high strain sensitivity of over 20 (at the large strain of 50%), and good reversible resistance response on cyclic force loading, which would open a high opportunity for fabricating strain sensing material in large volume for future smart device applications.

A novel multipoint fiber loop ringdown (FLRD) strain sensing system using frequency-shifted interferometry (FSI) is proposed and experimentally validated. Compared to conventional multipoint FLRD techniques, this scheme measures the decay rate of the continuous wave (CW) light in the space domain and thus greatly reduces the cost without the requirement of expensive devices. A serial dual-point strain sensing system was experimentally constructed and a biconical tapered multimode fiber (MMF) as the sensor head was used for obtaining the large measuring range. By applying different strains on the sensor heads through translation stages, a linear response between strain and additional loss induced by strain sensor was obtained, and the static strain sensitivities of 0.13676 dB/mε and 0.19665 dB/mε were achieved, corresponding to the detection limit of 0.0123 dB and 0.0360 dB, respectively. Moreover, a large measuring range of approximately 6 mε was achieved for both strain sensors. The experimental results indicate that our proposed method offers a promising multipoint strain sensor which has the advantages of low cost, a simple sensing structure and a large measuring range.
