Abstract:The investigation of film dosimeters made from polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) films dyed with methyl orange (MO) to enable their use in high dose radiation processing applications was studied. The dosimetric change in these films at pre and post irradiation was studied spectrophotometrically. Radiolytic bleaching was observed in PVA aided films exposed with Cs 137-source in dose range of 100-200kGy. The effects of pH, dye concentration and film thickness on the radiation response of the film dosimeters were discussed… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
