This paper reports on a comparative study undertaken for different types of optical fiber sensor developed to monitor the cure of an epoxy resin system. The optical fiber sensors used to monitor the cure process were based on transmission... more
Two types optical fibre sensors (OFS) were investigated for use in monitoring the cure of an epoxy-amine resin system: (i) an evanescent wave sensor and (ii) a refractive index sensor. The evanescent wave sensor was used to detect changes... more
