A1 - Wosniok, Aleksander A1 - Schukar, Marcus T1 - Fiber-Optic Thermoresponsive Polymer-based Temperature Sensor for Process Monitoring N2 - We present a high-precision fiber-optic temperature sensor based on a polymer possessing a Lower Critical Solution Temperature (LCST) in aqueous solution encapsulated in a capillary. For a temperature higher than the LCST the transparent homogenous polymer solution changes into a suspension which forms an opaque fluid. The resulting temperature-dependent turbidity influences the transmission characteristics measured using a simple fiber-optic system. The presented development provides a small-sized, robust temperature sensor, patented by the BAM (patent nr.: EP 3 043 161 B1), easy to integrate in many application fields, especially for process monitoring.
