Abstract:
Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) films containing Methyl Red (MR) were prepared by the cast drying of
an aqueous solution of the constituents. Irradiation was performed in air at room temperature with 60Co
gamma rays at a dose rate of 0.9 kGy/h. The characteristics of the films were analysed by a
spectrophotometer and densitometer. The dose response of the films was described by the energy transfer
model. The sensitivity of the films was determined. The film is recommended for use in gamma dosimetry,
gamma radiation protection and accident analysis. ?? 2009 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.
