This paper prolongs our studies of the formation and properties of the organic-inorganic scintillating compositions from activated polystyrene and inorganic nanoparticles from cesium iodid and sulfate. The compositions from the solution of polystyrene in benzene and nano- or micro-particles of cesium iodide were solidified in the form of thin films. Then some of the films were subjected to rolling. The variations of the infrared transmission spectra of the compositions were measured either during their solidification or after the solidification and rolling. The new absorption band was revealed in the process of the solidification and disappeared after it. The fractal-like structures of parallel rows were formed in the films. Quasi-periodical oscillations of the transmission spectra were found in several infrared regions ascribed to the interaction of the infrared radiation with the fractal super-structure of the films. The modifications of the absorption spectra found in our experiments are attributed to the interactions of polystyrene molecules with benzene molecules and nanoparticles of cesium iodide.
