TL;DR: In this article, a sol-gel doped with the organometallic vapochromic complex [Au2Ag2(C6F5)4(phen)2]n was used to detect volatile organic compounds such as acetone even in an aqueous solution.

TL;DR: In this article, the electrostatic self-assembled monolayer synthesis process is used to fabricate gas sensors by building up grating sensor elements on the ends of multimode optical fibers.

TL;DR: In this paper, a special issue focusing on optical fiber sensor technology and applications is presented. And forty-seven articles in this special issue focus on the applications of optical fiber sensors.

TL;DR: In this paper, photochromic-doped sol-gel materials have been prepared by adding a spiropyran photo-chromic dye to a solution of ethoxy silane monomers containing non-reacting ethyl radicals.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented an alternative approach for fabricating electrospun submicron highly hydrophilic fiber mats loaded with silver nanoparticles. But the fabrication method is divided in two steps, first, poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) and β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) sub-micron fibers were electro-spun and further stabilized using a thermal treatment.
