Abstract
The paper explores the possibilities of integrating a light element – phosphor - into various environments. Examples of the successful use of lighting components in the design of various construction objects are analyzed. The study takes into account a number of characteristics and unique properties of phosphors that can be effectively used in construction. Given the current circumstances in the country, non standard ways of using phosphors as an additional source of lighting or an alternative to traditional lighting devices are proposed. At the same time, phosphors do not require electricity, as they are capable of “accumulating” energy from sunlight. A distinctive feature of such films, which determines their photophysical properties, is the heterophasic, dispersed nature of the distribution of phosphor additives in the polymer matrix, which allows them to absorb and convert about 1% of the sun's UV radiation. The use of polymer films with homogeneous distribution of phosphors in the polymer matrix for this application is practically not described in the literature. One of the requirements for the resulting films is the presence of luminescent properties and their preservation under the operating conditions of polymer coatings of protected soil structures protected soil structures in agriculture. In this regard, it is necessary to conduct research on the fluorescent properties of the obtained films and their preservation under conditions of photochemical decomposition of phosphors, determination of the intensity of luminescence depending on the content of phosphors and the thickness of the obtained films.
