Sure-thing FG...here's something else he just posted on the LinkedIn 'Fiber Optic Sensors' board...hmm, that article looks familiar ;)
"Precise measurement of the tensile strength of polymer fibers. “Tetrapod Nanocrystals as Fluorescent Stress Probes of Electrospun Nanocomposites.” 2013 by Berkeley Nat Lab Paul Alivisatos and team.

Tetrapod Quantum Dots Light the Way to Stronger Polymers newscenter.lbl.gov
Fluorescent tetrapod quantum dots or tQDs (brown) serve as stress probes that allow precise measurement of polymer fiber tensile strength with minimal impact on mechanical properties. Inserts show relaxed tQDs (upper) and stressed tQDs (lower)....
