Development of the Spray-type Polymeric Material for Radioactive Contamination Measurement of the Wall

New approaches to detection, prevention and remediation environmental damage are important for protection of the environment. Procedures must be developed and implemented to reduce the amount of waste produced in chemical processes, to detect the presence and/or concentration of contaminants and decontaminate fouled environments. In this work, the poly(styrene-co-ethyl acrylate) [poly(St-co-EA)] core-shell composite polymer for measurement of the radioactive contamination was synthesized by the method of emulsion polymerization. Core-shell polymers of organic/organic pair that has two different properties within a particle were prepared. Organic composite systems, in which scintillator particles are disperse into the polymer matrix, are new classes of radiation detection materials
