Organic Glass: Fluorescent Organic Glass with Unique Optical and Mechanical Properties (Adv. Funct. Mater. 39/2018)

Abstract

In article number https://doi.org/10.1002/adfm.201801394, Woong Kim and co‐workers report a fluorescent organic glass (FOG) having both well‐defined property of molecular glasses and the high processability of polymer glasses. The FOG has outstanding optical properties and is highly compatible with molding, blowing, and nanopatterning processes. This work suggests a novel strategy to produce organic glasses with unprecedented multifunctional properties.

Zero‐Dimensional Luminescent Metal Halide Hybrids Enabling Bulk Transparent Medium as Large‐Area X‐Ray Scintillators

“…Based on the Rayleigh scattering principle, it is known that smaller grain size (in nano level) can favorably reduce the scattering of the incident light (Figure 2g). Due to the crystallization behavior of (ETP) 2 MnBr 4 nanocrystals during the molten‐quenching process, the resultant solidified medium from molten ETPBr and MnBr 2 mixture exhibited high transmittance in the wavelength range from 500 to 800 nm (>80%) (Figure 2h), [ 29 ] implying its great applicable perspectives in high‐resolution X‐ray imaging applications, as will be discussed below.…”
