  • Polymer composite based thermal neutron detectors
    Patent number: 8796631
    Abstract: Polymer composite neutron detector materials are described. The composite materials include an aromatic polymer matrix, such as an aromatic polyester. Distributed within the polymer matrix are neutron capture agents, such as 6LiF nanoparticles, and organic or inorganic luminescent fluors. The composite materials can be formed into stretched or unstretched thin films, fibers or fiber mats.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 14, 2013
    Date of Patent: August 5, 2014
    Assignee: University of Tennessee Research Foundation
    Inventors: Dayakar Penumadu, Indraneel Sen, Rohit Uppal
