Participants:
― Russian Academy of Sciences Institute of Synthetic
Polymeric Materials of (ISPM RAS).
― Joint Technology Transfer Office of RAS and RUSNANO
― The key team members.
 Staff - 8 people:
― 6 people - scientific staff with many years of experience in
large international projects.
― 2 people - staff with business competences, experience of
launching startups and successful exits.
 The LumInnoTech Ltd. is a participant of the Skolkovo Innovation
Centre (cluster of nuclear technology). The company was awarded
a minigrant in 2012.
 IP: Know-how license, PCT application
 The project will be implemented with the participation of Dubna
and "Sigma“ Nanocentres

3. Product
Nanostructured
organosilicon
luminophores (NOL)
 In the organic electronics
Radiation control on
nuclear power station
Radiation control at the
boarders
In medicine: X-ray
detectors
high-energy physics,
space research
personal radiation
detectors
Organic thin-film transistors
(OTFTs, OFETs) and IC
Organic light emitting diodes
(OLEDs) and displays
Organic photovoltaics (solar
cells & photodetectors)
Applications
 In the ionizing radiation detectors

4. Advantages
Drawback of currently available ionizing
radiation detectors
How Project products compensate for this
drawbacks
Low sensitivity and energy resolution of ionizing
radiation detectors
―Up to 50% higher sensitivity;
―Up to 10% higher energy resolution.
Scintillation efficiency of plastic scintillator is
limited at 45-65% relative to anthracene standard
(100%).
Higher scintillation efficiency – up to 120% relative
to anthracene standard.
High flash duration High-speed performance – quicker than all available
ionizing radiation detectors
No spectral shifts for ionizing radiation detectors
based on inerting gases available
Available efficient spectral shifts for ionizing
radiation detectors based on inerting gases and
silicone photodetectors on SiPM.
Available detectors on plastic scintillators
consume a lot of material. High mass and size of
detectors.
Material consumption lowed by 30%; decreased
mass and dimensions.
Any forms and configurations of detectors
available; project luminophores can be used in
detectors of any shape and size. Large detectors can
be created.
Operating time is not high. Endurance up to 2 times higher (if long wavelength
NOL are used in photodetectors)
