Abstract
A method of making a temperature sensor including the steps of mixing a cationically polymerized compound, a radically polymerized compound, a cationic polymerization initiator, and a radical initiator to form a blend; forming the mixture in the shape of a senor disposed near the end of an optical fiber; curing one of the cationically polymerized compound and the radically polymerized compound and then curing the other of the compounds to form a microphase separation structure; and, thereby producing a temperature sensor.
