An approach towards plastic scintillators from thermally activated delayed fluorescent dyes and cross-linkable bismuth compounds

Abstract

Cross-linked polyvinyltoluene (PVT) based plastic scintillators loaded with dyes exhibiting thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) and various amounts of (caproate)di-(methacrylate) bismuth (CMB) were developed. The co-polymerization of vinyl toluene monomer...
