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.
