Abstract

Gamma radiation-induced polymerization of acrylic acid (AAc) onto polyvinylbutyral (PVB) film has been carried out under nitrogen atmosphere. The grafted film of PVB-g-PAAc was allowed to react with solutions of two ionic dyes (ion exchange), namely brilliant green (BG) or methylene green (MEG). The results show that these new dosimeter films of PVBBG and PVBMEG may be useful for high-dose radiation dosimetry applications. We concluded that, the useful absorbed dose range of the dyed films extends up to about 400 and 300 kGy respectively.
