The interdependence of adhesion, friction, and elasticity of elastomers is relevant for various engineering applications. However, its investigation has been limited to smooth glass surfaces. We apply ...

Abstract: A novel highly sensitive fiber sensor for transverse load and temperature measurement has been fabricated by polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) packaging an S fiber taper (SFT). The PDMS coating is ...
