  • Abstract
    Polymer optical coatings to detect moisture were developed to clad polymer optical fibres (POF). These claddings were sensitized to moisture to affect the evanescent field and thus the light guided within the fibre, forming POF sensors to continuously monitor human perspiration in response to changes in environmental conditions, physical and mental activity, medical condition or psychological stress.
