Abstract
Abstract Preparation and characteristics evaluation of the polycarbonate films 20 μm in thickness containing Dansyl chloride as a routine dosimeter in radiation processing facilities were studied. The sensitivity of these films and the linearity of dose-response curves were investigated under 60Co γ-rays in a dose range of 0–100 kGy, and the obtained results were compared with the commercial CTA and FWT film dosimeters. The results show that the maximum absorbance appeared at 370 nm in all the investigated dose range. The dyed films were found to be stable enough in mediums with high degrees of humidity and temperature, to be reliably used in radio-applications. The effects of pre-irradiation (shelf-life) and post-irradiation storage in dark and in indirect sunlight were also discussed. The films which were made displayed stable characteristics when stored in dark, within 1% at 25 ℃, 3 months after irradiation.
