Studies of thermoluminescence properties of liquid crystalline N‐phenyl substituted phenyl polysiloxane hydroxamic acids

Abstract

AbstractThe investigation of thermoluminescence (TL) glow curves in liquid crystalline side chain N‐phenyl‐substituted phenyl polysiloxane hydroxamic acids (PHAs) has yielded significant insights. These polymers demonstrated TL behavior when exposed to β‐radiation between 0 and 220°C, indicating inherent luminescent properties when irradiated. Notably, a dose‐dependent relationship was observed in reported derivatized polymers; this study elucidates the diverse TL characteristics exhibited by various liquid crystalline side chain N‐phenyl‐substituted phenyl PHAs when exposed to β‐radiation. Understanding these dose‐dependent and dose‐independent behaviors enhances the knowledge of their luminescent properties and potential applications in radiation detection.
