  In recent years, the field of radiation detection has witnessed a paradigm
shift with the emergence of plastic scintillators incorporating perovskite
nanocrystals (PNCs). This innovative class of scintillators not only
capitalizes on the superior luminescent properties of PNCs but also harnesses
the flexibility and processability of polymers. This review explores the
intricate landscape of synthesizing and fabricating scintillating PNCs and
nanocomposites, delving into the methods employed in their production. From
solution-based methods to innovative solid-state approaches, the synthesis of
PNCs for scintillators application is explored comprehensively. Furthermore,
embedding strategies within polymeric matrices are scrutinized, shedding light
on the various techniques utilized to achieve optimal dispersion and
compatibility. The evaluation of the final nanocomposites is finally discussed,
with a particular emphasis on their scintillating performance and radiation
hardness. Through a meticulous exploration of synthesis methodologies,
embedding techniques, and performance assessments, this review aims to provide
a multilayered understanding of the state-of-the-art in PNCs-based
nanoscintillators.
