Researchers from the Florida State University have developed a new material that is projected to be further applicable in flexible X-ray detectors for reducing the impact on environment and making a cost-friendly technology. The team has successfully created an eco-friendly material for X-ray scintillators. Furthermore, the study published in the journal Nature Communications shows the X-ray scintillators to help transform X-ray into visible light. This technology is primarily used at the airports and dentists to capture images of luggage and teeth. The development of the latest material can aid in reducing the use of several expensive and dangerous materials in X-ray scintillators.
Generally, lead was used but the toxicity threshold of lead has raised a lot of concern. Thus, the researchers have found organic manganese halide to help manufacture scintillators without the need of lead or heavy metals. The powered version of the new compound can help enhance imaging and at the same, the combination between a polymer and the compound to make a flexible composite for its further application in the scintillator. The flexible nature is anticipated to increase this technology’s potential use. The new study provides a new avenue in the manufacturing of scintillators at a low cost, high performance, and eco-friendly product.
Thus, the idea of making flexible scintillators will help pave new ways in the medical technology field. The new environment friendly material is likely projected to make the technology commercial in the coming years. Despite the several challenges in making this new technology, the researchers plan to create new devices with better performance. The use of organic manganese halide in this technology will open new door for exploration of into scintillators field. This completely different solution could help reduce the impact on the environment as well as broaden the potential use of this eco-friendly technology.
