One of the early results from the project was in developing a repeatable method for joining polymer fiber to standard silica fiber — a major development that enabled using POF Bragg gratings in applications outside an optics lab. One of the first uses for these sensors was in monitoring strain in tapestries<ref>{{cite report |vauthors=Lennard F, Eastop D, Ye CC, Dulieu-Barton JM, Chambers AR, Khennouf D |date=2008 |chapter=Progress in strain monitoring of tapestries |pages=843–848 |title=ICOM Committee for Conservation |volume=II |url=http://eprints.soton.ac.uk/68650/01/137_Lennard.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110807135737/http://eprints.soton.ac.uk/68650/1/137_Lennard.pdf |archive-date=2011-08-07}}</ref> shown in Figure 4.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://spie.org/x39927.xml?ArticleID=x39927 |title=Polymer-fiber grating sensors}}</ref> In this case conventional electrical strain sensors and silica fiber sensors were shown to be strengthening the tapestries in areas where they were fixed. Because polymer fibre devices are much more flexible they did not distort the textiles as much, permitting more accurate measurement of strain.
