Abstract
In an attempt to prepare PADC films for SSNTD applications, we have produced a home-made PADC detector called UC-95 by the benzoyl peroxide catalyzed bulk polymerization of allyl diglycol carbonate (ADC, PADC monomer) using an indigenously prepared mold. It was used for recording an autoradiograph of 239Pu alpha particle source and 252Cf fission fragment detection. The etching conditions of this detector were studied and some of the properties (background tracks, bulk etch rate and sensitivity) were compared with those of the commercially available PM PADC detector. UC-95 compared well with the commercial PM PADC with respect to bulk etch rate and track registration efficiency.
