Two‐Phase Rubber–Plastic Matrices’ Stabilization of Organic Room‐Temperature Phosphorescence Afterglows Better than Plastic Matrix

Small Structures, 2023
The rigid yet polar polymers as matrices for organic‐doped room‐temperature phosphorescence (RTP) polymers are widely reported, but nonpolar rigid plastics such as polystyrene (PS) are thought to be ineffective matrix and rarely attempted.
