FLUORESCENT ION EXCHANGE RESINS
The development of scintillating ion exchange resins is discussed. A suspension-type polymerization process was developed whereby a fluorescent, spherical bead was made which contained the appropriate fluors dissolved in solid solution in cross-linked polyvinyltoluene. The plastic bead was subsequently treated chemically to introduce the anion, or cation, exchange groups. The relative pulse height of each resin preparation was measured to determine the effects of various synthesis parameters and to make comparisons between batches. Counting efficiencies for alpha and BETA emitters were determined. An experiment was performed to determine the efficiency with which the scintillating anion resin could remove I/sup 131/ from milk. The stability of the resin was also studied. (M.C.G.)
