We examine the effect of photodarkening-induced pump light absorption on Yb-doped fiber thermal loading. In these experiments, the fiber is cladding pumped at 915nm, air cooled by natural convection, and monitored with a midinfrared thermal camera. The fiber temperature is found to correlate with progressive photodarkening. The maximum observed fiber temperature was 120 degrees C, recorded at a pump power of 10.5W. The observed increase in fiber temperature can be explained by a model that takes into account the combined effects of the Yb-silica quantum defect, the temperature dependence of the Yb-absorption cross section, and photodarkening-induced loss at 915nm. We hypothesize that the latter effect results in the progressive activation of temperature-dependent photochemical processes (e.g., bleaching) and is an important consideration with regard to the accurate modeling of Yb-doped fiber photodarkening kinetics.

Poly (lactic acid) (PLA) is a widely produced bio-based polymer known for its biodegradability and renewability, but its brittleness, low heat resistance, and weak mechanical properties limit its broader use. To address these challenges, TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibers (TOCNF) were extracted from dissolving pulp using TEMPO oxidation and high-pressure homogenization. These TOCNF were modified with silane to reduce hydrophilicity and improve compatibility with PLA.

We here explore confinement-induced assembly of whey protein nanofibrils (PNFs) into microscale fibers using microfocused synchrotron X-ray scattering. Solvent evaporation aligns the PNFs into anisotropic fibers, and the process is followed in situ by scattering experiments within a droplet of PNF dispersion. We find an optimal temperature at which the order parameter of the protein fiber is maximized, suggesting that the degree of order results from a balance between the time scales of the forced alignment and the rotational diffusion of the fibrils.

The impact of light radiation, a predominant energy release mechanism in nuclear explosions, on material properties is of critical importance. This investigation employed an artificial light source to replicate the effects of nuclear explosion radiation and utilized a physical information neural network (PINN) to examine the temperature evolution and corresponding changes in the mechanical properties of carbon fiber/epoxy composites (CFEC). A light source simulating nuclear explosion's light radiation was built to irradiate the CFEC, then measure the reflection spectrum and temperature of samples.
