Heat-treated PAN Fiber Mats Enable Flexible Temperature and Pressure Sensing at High Temperatures

Researchers used thermal treatment or laser processing to tune polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fiber mats into separate thermoresistive temperature and piezoresistive pressure-sensing elements for flexible monitoring in high-temperature environments. The platform measured temperatures from 25 to 300 °C and pressures from 0 to 480 kPa, while combined loading above roughly 180 °C and 150 kPa exposed a structural limit.

Machine Learning Improves LIBS Classification of Real Plastic Waste Under Variable Laser Conditions

Researchers used machine learning-assisted laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) to classify PP, PET, HDPE, and LDPE under three laser-energy conditions designed to mimic variations in laser irradiance, training the models on standard plastics and testing them on physically separate real-waste specimens. Combining preprocessing with wavelength selection raised the best test accuracy from 0.617 to 1.00, although that result was based on repeated measurements of only four held-out waste specimens, one per polymer class.
