Highlights
-
Centrifugally spun cerium doped nonwoven fibrous mat are explored as a non-contact optical pressure sensor.
-
The developed sensor depicted wide linear dynamic range and good pressure sensitivity.
-
The sensor properties are based on the spectral shift, broadening and intensity enhancement.
-
β-phase in doped fibers increases when compared to undoped PVDF.
-
Cerium nitrate doped fiber exhibits a high-pressure sensitivity (dλ/dP ≈ 0.28 nm/GPa) with no luminescence quenching.
Abstract
This work proposes a highly novel centrifugally spun lanthanide doped nonwoven fibrous mat as a non-contact optical pressure sensor with a wide linear dynamic range and good pressure sensitivity. The sensor …
