Hybrid Materials: Where Organic Scalability and Speed Meet Inorganic Performance

The Challenge

A Decades-Long Dilemma in Materials for Radiation Scintillation and Detection

The radiation scintillation and detection industry has long faced a critical trade-off:

  • Organics are scalable, low-cost, and fast responsive — but lack high sensitivity.
  • Inorganics are highly sensitive — but brittle, rigid, often hygroscopic, and require costly, high temperature or high vacuum processing.

These limitations create a persistent need for a new class of materials that can combine the essential properties of high sensitivity, fast response, moisture-resistant stability, flexibility, scalability, and affordability to meet modern demands in radiation applications.

Our proprietary organic–inorganic hybrid materials are designed to drive the next generation of radiation scintillators and detectors. These advanced hybrid materials uniquely combine the benefits of both organic and inorganic materials, offering a powerful synergy of properties: high-sensitivity, fast response, moisture-resistant stability (non-hygroscopic), and a flexible, large area form factor. They are also scalable through low-cost synthesis.

This breakthrough technology enables the creation of affordable, flexible, large-area radiation scintillators and detectors with high sensitivity and fast response. Furthermore, our non-toxic, lead-free, and rare-earth-free hybrid are a sustainable material solution fabricated with an energy-saving process, designed to meet increasingly strict environmental regulations.

This will spur innovation in critical sectors such as homeland security, nuclear industry, nuclear medicine, industrial non-destructive testing, medical imaging, and high energy physics.
