Optical properties of conjugated polymer: review of its change mechanism for ionizing radiation sensor

A review on the change mechanism of conjugated polymer upon radiation exposure is presented. The change mechanism is mainly focused on the polymer's optical properties instead of its electrical properties. This research explores the effect of ionizing radiation on the optical change of conjugat...
