Preparation and evaluation of crosslinked plastic scintillation microspheres (CPSm)

Plastic scintillators in the form of microspheres (PSm) have emerged as a sustainable solution for the determination of alpha and beta radioactivity, reducing hazardous wastes and improved selectivity when combined with selective extractants (PSresin). To overcome challenges like solubility in organ...
