Novel Sulfur‐Rich Polymers from Inverse Vulcanization as Functional Building Blocks for Photonics

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Isopropenyl aromatic comonomers, in particular novel 2,7‐diisopropenylfluorene and 2,8‐diisopropenyldibenzothiophene, synthesized by sustainable, facile, single‐step SMCCR from available brominated substrates are exploited in the Inverse Vulcanization process to obtain functional Sulfur‐rich macromolecular materials.

Fibre Bragg grating fabrication in germanosilicate fibres with 244nm femtosecond laser light

, 2006
The ability to fabricate strong and extraordinarily stable Bragg gratings in any type of fibre using femtosecond laser light has attracted much interest in the recent past. The induced index change has been attributed to glass densification brought about

Tunable and switchable dual wavelength lasers using optical fibre Bragg grating external cavities

, 2002
Two novel external cavity lasers are demonstrated experimentally. The first utilises a Bragg grating fabricated in highly birefringent optical fibre and offers the ability to switch between modes that are separated in polarisation and wavelength.

A Review of Mechanical Reinforcement and Piezoresistive Self‐Sensing in Carbon Nanotube Fiber Composites

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
PSPP‐TRL mapping of CNT‐modified CFRP literature, with four recurring confusions resolved and five scale‐up problems quantified. ABSTRACT Carbon nanotube‐modified fiber composites are often presented as a route to stronger, tougher, and self‐sensing structural materials.

Bandwidth-Variable and Wavelength-Tunable Waveguide Bragg Grating Filter

IEEE Photonics Journal
We propose and demonstrate a waveguide Bragg grating filter that is bandwidth-variable and wavelength-tunable. The filter is implemented using a pair of apodized waveguide Bragg gratings in silicon-on-insulator that are tuned thermally.

Evaluation of prestress losses in concrete beams using destructive and non‐destructive methods

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Over the past few decades, prestressing techniques have become essential in the construction of key structures, infrastructure, and bridges. The serviceability and safety of prestressed concrete (PC) elements are closely tied to the effectiveness of the prestressing process.
