Modification of interfacial performance of Fiber Bragg grating embedded in the composite materials

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The interfacial performance of the Fiber Bragg grating (FGB) embedded in the composite was studied and the influence of interface modification on the final profile of the spectra of the FBG sensor was examined. A type of polyamine (Pentaethylenehexamine, PEHA) was proposed to modify the coating of PI on FBG, and the interfacial performance was evaluated by a pull-out test. Sharp improvements of the interfacial shear strength (77%) were obtained by 40 min treatment of PEHA. Compared with untreated specimen, FGB spectra of treated specimen in the tensile tests show improved linearity within the test regime, which proves that the enhanced interface is beneficial for the sensing performance.
