Most of the compounds have physiologically active properties, and their biological properties are often attributed to the heteroatoms contained in their molecules, and most of these heteroatoms also appear in cyclic structures. A Journal, Journal of Applied Polymer Science called Plastic scintillators with efficient light output and pulse shape discrimination produced via photoinitiated polymerization, Author is Lim, Allison; Mahl, Adam; Latta, Joseph; Yemam, Henok A.; Greife, Uwe; Sellinger, Alan, which mentions a compound: 92-71-7, SMILESS is C1(C2=CC=CC=C2)=NC=C(C3=CC=CC=C3)O1, Molecular C15H11NO, Safety of 2,5-Diphenyloxazole.
Poly(vinyl toluene) (PVT) overdoped with 2,5-diphenyloxazole and using 1,4-bis(5-phenyloxazol-2-yl)benzene as a fluorescent secondary dopant can be used to detect and differentiate neutron and gamma radiation via scintillation. The low cost of PVT makes these plastic scintillators attractive for both portable and larger sized first line detection of special nuclear materials. Current fabrication methods rely on thermally initiated radical polymerization that generally requires an approx. 5-day heating process in order to produce high quality scintillators. In this work, we report a proof-of-concept photopolymerization process to prepare plastic scintillators up to 20 g in size in 1 day. These plastic scintillators were comparable to standard thermally polymerized samples in terms of their phys. properties and response to various radiation sources. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
