Polymeric polystyrene-based composites containing GdF3 nanoparticles stabilized by ammonium dihexadecyldithioposhate and β-styrylphosphonic acid were obtained by radical bulk polymerization. Use of a component β-styrylphosphonic acid, capable of copolymerizing with styrene, as a modifier of GdF3 surface allows to increase substantially the content of GdF3 nanoparticles in polystyrene plastic scintillator without changing its scintillations properties.
