A spiropyran-based X-ray sensitive fiber

Chem Commun (Camb). 2015 Jun 30;51(56):11170-3. doi: 10.1039/c5cc03977k.

Abstract

This study attempted to visualize reversible X-ray radiation by using a poly-(l-lactic acid) (PLLA) composite fiber with an average diameter of 150 μm. The fiber contains photostimulable phosphor (PSP) BaFCl:Eu(2+) particles that are subsequently dyed with the photochromic spiropyran dye (1,3,3-trimethylindolino-6'-nitrobenzopyrylospiran) (6-nitro BIPS).
