Polyester Composite Thermal Neutron Scintillation Films

Optical characteristics of pure poly (vinyltoluene) for scintillation applications

“…State-of-the-art refining methods produce aromatic ring polymers with high purity [6]. These substrates have favourable characteristics for radiation detection that do not require fluorescent guest molecules, and thus they are becoming attractive scintillation materials [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. Examples include common polymers such as poly (ethylene terephthalate) and polycarbonate [19][20][21][22][23].…”

A model survey meter using undoped poly (ether sulfone)

“…Modern refining techniques have made it possible for undoped aromatic ring polymers to be used as scintillation materials [7,8]. Examples include polycarbonates and poly (ethylene terephthalate) [2,[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. Moreover, optical characteristics of high-purity polystyrene and poly (vinyltoluene) have been subsequently re-examined [22,23].…”

Position Dependence for Count Rates in a Polyethylene Naphthalate Survey Meter

“…Energy spectra of some radiations were recently demonstrated for PEN. [21][22][23][24][25][26][27] For a survey meter with a large detection window, we created a thin sheet of scintillation material from PEN and demonstrated its radiation counting response at different locations on the detection window. This knowledge will be useful for designing a full-scale radiation detector.…”
