A new transparent neutron‐scintillating material has been developed based on polystyrene‐ block ‐poly(ethylene oxide). The unique self‐assembly structure of the block copolymer makes it possible to dope hydrophilic Li + in the ethylene‐oxide domain and hydrophobic organic fluors in the styrene domain (see Figure).
