With the advance of the sensor, both the effect of environment on the surface ply and the geometry of waveguide are complicated. To consider the complication, a model with gradient surface ply and multilayer waveguide of SH wave propagation in sensor is proposed. The equation of wave velocity is derived by a transfer matrix method. Through the equation, the function of wave velocity increment via the change of parameters in the surface ply is obtained. The effect of the inhomogeneity on the function is also studied. Finally, some influencing factors of the behavior of the sensor are discussed.展开更多

Combined with theoretical analysis and experimental investigation, the sensitivity of the temperature sensor is related to the thicknesses of the upper cladding layer, the waveguide layer, the optical loss of the polymer material and the guided wave modes. The results show that the slope value about reflectivity and temperature, which stands for the sensitivity of the polymer thin film temperature sensor, is associated with the waveguide film thickness and the guided wave modes, and the slope value is the highest in the zero reflectance of a certain transverse electric （TE） mode. To improve the sensitivity of the temperature sensor, the sensor＇s working incident light exterior angle α should be chosen under a certain TE mode with the reflectivity to be zero. This temperature sensor is characterized by high sensitivity and simple structure and it is easily fabricated.展开更多

Using the real part of shear modulus, the polymer can be classified into three types： glassy film, glassy-rubbery film and rubbery film, Experimental results show that the attenuation response is in better consistence with the simulation than in Martin＇s theory, but the velocity response does not accord with the calculation exactly. Maybe it is influenced by the experimental methods and environment. In addition, simulations of gas sorption for polymer films are performed. As for glassy film, the SAW sensor response increases with increasing fihn thickness, and the relationship between the sensor response and the concentration of gas is pretty linear, while as for glassy-rubbery flint and rubbery film, the relationship between the sensor sensitivity anti concentration of gas is very complicated. The ultimately calculated results indicate that the relationship between the sensor response and frequency is not always linear due to the viscoelastic prooerties of the polymer.展开更多

Conjugated polymers, poly（triphenylaminealt-biphenylene vinylene） （TPA- PBPV）, and small organic molecules, l-horonic-ester pyrene and 1,6-bisboron-ester pyrene, were coated onto the nanofibers fabricated by electrospinning. By introducing the nanofibers structure, a 9-fold fluorescence intensity enhancement and a 14-fold sensitivity enhancement were achieved, which could be attributed to its high area-to-volume ratio, excellent gas permeability, and more importantly, the evanescent-wave effect occurred once the diameters of the fibers were small enough. Since the organic semiconductors coated onto the nanofibrous mats could be replaced by other functional materials, the nanofibers-enhanced detection strategies could be extended to more general domains including chemical and environmental detection.展开更多
