چکیده
A detailed study was performed to investigate the dosimetric characteristics of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) containing 10,12-pentacosadiynoic acid (PCDA) monomer. PCDA monomer undergoes radiation polymerization when subjected to gamma rays inducing change in the absorption spectra in the UV region of the spectrum. Unirradiated film is colourless and has four absorption peaks at 216 nm, 227nm, 241nm and 256nm. Upon irradiation two new peaks at 271 nm and 286nm are developed and their amplitudes with the original peaks increase with the increase of absorbed dose. The useful dose range of this film is 3 – 100 kGy depending on PCDA monomer concentration. The effects of temperature and relative humidity during irradiation on the dosimeter performance as well as preand post-irradiation stability at different storage conditions are discussed. The overall combined uncertainties (at 2σ) associated with dose measurement are estimated.

Dosimetry characterization of nitro-blue tetrazolium polyvinyl butyral films for radiation processing
Nitro-blue tetrazolium polyvinyl butyral film dosimeters (NBT-PVB) were prepared and investigated based on radiation-induced reduction of NBT. NBT-PVB film dosimeters containing different concentrations of NBT dye from 1 to 5 mM were prepared in a solution of ethanol. The dosimeters were irradiated with g-ray from Co source at doses from 5 up to 55 kGy. UV/vis spectrophotometry was used to inve...
متن کاملNon-Isothermal Degradation Kinetics of High Energy Protons Irradiated Polyvinyl Butyral
This research is aimed to undertake a comparative study on stability and thermal degradation kinetics of un-irradiated and high energy protons irradiated polyvinyl butyral (PVB) based on weight loss analysis and non-isothermal approaches. The weight loss by the un-irradiated PVB upon heating was found to be in two stages but due to high energy protons accelerated exposure following by chemical ...
