Research Abstract |
Polymer gel dosimeters based on radiation-crosslinked hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) gel were prepared, which comprised 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and polyethylene glycol dimethacrylate (9G) as less toxic monomers and tetrakis (hydroxylmethyl) phosphonium chloride (THPC) as an antioxidant. The polymer gel dosimeters showed cloudiness at only 1 Gy by exposing to 60Co -ray, in which the cloudiness increased approximately linearly with the dose up to 10 Gy. At the same dose, the increase in the cloudiness appeared with increasing concentration of 9G. It was found that the dose response depended on the composition ratio between HEMA, 9G and THPC.
