Abstract Optical fiber sensors are widely utilized for their precision, stability, adjustable functionality, and minimal signal degradation. They excel in detecting diverse parameters, even challenging situations where conventional may falter. This study aims to create a novel optical sensor capable of concurrently both temperature ultraviolet (UV) radiation. The was fabricated using digital light processing 3D printing technique. photocurable resin the prepared by incorporating thermochromic powder UV-sensitive powders into polyethylene glycol diacrylate hydroxyethyl methacrylate polymer blend multi-material printing. fibers were printed two distinct orientations: horizontal vertical. characterization these carried out measuring transmission reflection customized measurement setups. vertically oriented exhibit more reflectivity, whereas horizontally demonstrate higher transmission, owing layering phenomenon. significant variation spectra, making them ideal dual sensing. A notable change percentage at 600 nm observed temperatures 25℃, 35℃, 45℃, reducing from 12.13 9.5%, 17.31 15.6%, 19.62 17.98% upon exposure UV radiation, respectively. presence radiation fluctuations can be easily distinguished analyzing spectra. proposed provide promising sensing platform applications continuous monitoring detection is required.

A piezoresistive flexible strain sensor was developed using thermoplastic polyurethane elastomers (TPU) as the matrix and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) conductive fillers. Sensitivity, range, tensile cycling stability were concurrently considered during its design. Electrospun TPU fiber membranes prepared via electrospinning in this experiment, with controllable diameter achieved by adjusting rotational speed of receiving drum. CNTs incorporated into a polymer substrate through suction filtration to create sensor. The support structure electrospun film served carrier for uniformly adhering particles. Well-dispersed could more easily achieve uniform loading pore size film, thereby forming layer. This study initially determined influence content spinning solution on morphology membrane. Subsequently, effects CNT drum microstructure investigated, along their impact microstructure, mechanical properties, sensing performance CNTs/TPU (CT) sensors. results indicate that membrane under conditions mass fraction 20 wt% 100 r/min has larger average stable scaffold structure. sensor, filtering 10 mL concentration 2 mg/mL, exhibited best strength elongation at break 6.22 MPa 575%, respectively. Additionally, it demonstrated high sensitivity (GF=420.17 200% strain) excellent durability (300 cycle tests), enabling quick accurate responses movements various parts human body, meeting basic usage requirements
