- Country of manufactureUkraine
APPOINTMENT
The development relates to the nuclear safety through the detection of x - rays, gamma rays and neutrons, radiation spectrometry etc.
MAIN CHARACTERISTICS OF THE DEVELOPMENT
Composite scintillation materials based on a polymer matrix with interspersed nanoparticles have a speed of 2 NS and by 5 - 20 times greater efficiency of low - energy gamma rays registration compared to polystyrene scintillants. The cost of their production in comparison with crystal detectors is significantly less
STATE OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY PROTECTION
A patent of Ukraine for the invention is received
MARKET DEMAND
Industries of demand: the monitoring of radioactive environmental pollution; visualization in medicine; control over the radioactive materials movement; nuclear safety in industry. The development can be implemented both in Ukraine and abroad
STATUS OF READINESS OF THE DEVELOPMENT
The laboratory technology of manufacturing composite film scintillants based on polystyrene with built - in inorganic nanoparticles was developed
