Abstract
The effect of gamma, γ, radiation on the surface morphology and the optical properties of a prepared alpha-methyl curcumin: PMMA film were studied under different doses (7, 14, 21 and 28 Gy) of γ-rays emitted by 137Cs source. To monitor the effect of γ radiation on the prepared sample, the UV–visible absorbance and transmittance measurements of the pristine and the irradiated sample were carried out in the spectral range 400–900 nm at room temperature. An optical microscope and image J software were utilized to examine any changes in the surface morphology for the pre and post irradiated samples. The obtained results indicated that the surface morphology, linear and nonlinear optical properties of the films have been affected by γ radiation.
