Hybrid Elastoplastic Crystal Scintillators for Flexible X‐Ray Radiation Imaging

Abstract Flexible crystals are finding increased applications in optoelectronics. The mechanism of elastic and plastic bending and thermal expansion in 9, 10‐dibromoanthracene (DBrA) crystals is determined. In addition, the X‐ray radiation luminescence performance of DBrA elastoplastic crystals is investigated and successfully prepare a flexible composite film (DBrA‐PMMA) for X‐ray radiation imaging by dispersing the crystal in polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). This work provides new insights for the applications of elastoplastic crystals in the field of flexible optoelectronics.
