  • Description: In this study, we present a method to detect cure-induced strain in an epoxy resin (EP) with a Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensor. By embedding the optical fiber into the EP resin the characteristics during isothermal cure (gel point, vitrification) could be precisely detected due to changes in the fiber strain. In a follow up dynamic temperature scan the coefficient of thermal expansion and the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the fully cured EP were determined by the FBG sensor technique. All results obtained by the fiber optical method showed a very good agreement with those deduced by independent techniques, viz. rheological measurements, differential scanning calorimetry, and thermomechanical analysis. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
