Use of polymer for measurement of GAMMA radiation dose

Abstract

The work aims at, study the gamma-ray effects on the optical absorption of Taiwan made polymer of (1) mm thickness, which is used as a protector container for CD-discs. The photo-absorption of the polymer is studied within the wavelengths range (300-900) nm and gamma-ray doses (1.656-5.433) Mrad, The effect of annealing treatment on the photo-absorption of the polymer within the temperature range of (75-150) C have also been studied. Finally, a calibration curve of gamma-irradiation doses measurement using the polymer was determined
