Abstract
This column addresses various aspects of scintillating polymers in areas like photophysics, radiation stability, dye diffusion, and so on. Scintillating polymer means, when a particle or radiation falls on a polymer, it gives visible light as an output. The main characteristics of scintillating polymers are fast response time and high quantum efficiency. They are commercially available with a good selection of sizes of rods, fibers, cylinders, flat sheets, and so on, in medical diagnostic applications. A typical diagram of the scintillating process is shown in Figure 1. Here, the incident radiation/light is converted into an electrical signal by a photoelectric converter.
