Pile cloth fabric applied as filter medium for water and wastewater treatment. Today, woven pile cloth media are used as filter media, which is the reason for the name of the process. [4] [5] Woven pile clothes have a multidimensional structure consisting of a filter-active fluidizable pile layer and a non-filter-active backing. [5]
In these applications, the phosphor is directly added to the plastic used to mold the toys, or mixed with a binder for use as paints. ZnS:Cu phosphor is used in glow-in-the-dark cosmetic creams frequently used for Halloween make-ups. Generally, the persistence of the phosphor increases as the wavelength increases.

White phosphorus (left), red phosphorus (center left and center right), and violet phosphorus (right) White phosphorus and resulting allotropes Elemental phosphorus can exist in several allotropes, the most common of which are white and red solids.
Radioluminescent paint is a self-luminous paint that consists of a small amount of a radioactive isotope (radionuclide) mixed with a radioluminescent phosphor chemical. The radioisotope continually decays, emitting radiation particles which strike molecules of the phosphor, exciting them to emit visible light.
The term phosphor had been used since the Middle Ages to describe minerals that glowed in the dark. One of the most famous, but not the first, was Bolognian phosphor. Around 1604, Vincenzo Casciarolo discovered a "lapis solaris" near Bologna, Italy. Once heated in an oxygen-rich furnace, it thereafter absorbed sunlight and glowed in the dark.
water-vapour barriers for protecting phosphor coatings in electroluminescent lamps (the phosphor chemicals are sensitive to moisture) protection of liquid-crystal display (LCD) panels, which are sensitive to moisture; Due to its chemical stability, it acts as a protective barrier against chemicals.
Electroluminescent wire (often abbreviated as EL wire) is a thin copper wire coated in a phosphor that produces light through electroluminescence when an alternating current is applied to it. It can be used in a wide variety of applications—vehicle and structure decoration, safety and emergency lighting, toys, clothing etc.—much as rope ...
