Plastic Scintillators via Rapid Photoinitiated Cationic Polymerization of Vinyltoluene AITranslate
Abstract AITranslate
Cationic photopolymerization is applied for the rapid curing of a vinyltoluene and fluorophore solution into an efficient plastic scintillator. A hard solid is obtained via UV light-initiated polymerization of vinyltoluene, diaryliodonium salt, 9,9-dimethyl-2-phenylfluorene (PhF), and 9,9-dimethyl-2,7-distyrlfluorene (SFS) at ambient conditions with high conversion rates under a range of cationic photoinitiator concentrations, fluorophore concentrations, and light intensities. Insight into photopolymerization kinetics via photo differential scanning calorimetry (photoDSC) revealed photocuring time scales similar to those achieved in a commercial 3D printing resin. Scintillator samples prepared cationically performed well compared to samples of equivalent compositions prepared by a lengthy thermally initiated radical polymerization.
