Novel inorganic luminescent materials have provided improvements in lighting, display, and optical devices. They are generally used for decorative applications, safety signs, and tolls. The characteristics of the photoluminescent pigments depend on both physical and chemical characteristics. In this study, particle size distribution eects on the after-glow time of the bluish-green and yellowish-green pigments were investigated. Milling times of the pigments were chosen as 30 min, 60 min and 90 min and they were applied on the wall tile surfaces with a constant ratio. Depending on the milling time, after-glow property of the pigments were compared by using photometer equipment. Correlations between pigments particle size distribution and after-glow time of the pigments were also discussed in this presentation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
