Abstract: 

The mechanical strength of a radiation-hard plastic scintillator with diffusion enhancers was investigated by creating cross-linked structure in its polymeric matrix. The best result is reached, if 4,4′-divinylbiphenyl is used as a cross-linking agent, and p-xylene - as a diffusion enhancer.

Keywords: 
plastic scintillator, mechanical strength, 4,4′-divinylbiphenyl, p-xylene
