Method of manufacturing a nitro blue tetrazolium and polyvinyl butyral based dosimeter film |
摘要 |
NBT-PVA film dosimeters performance is affected due to high humidity levels. NBT-PVB film dosimeters with a relatively small effect of high humidity levels on its performance are invented. NBT-PVB film dosimeters are made by using alcoholic solution to dissolve both of NBT and PVB. The films are very useful for routine dosimeter in industrial radiation processing. A very high sensitivity NBT-PVB Radio-chromic film dosimeter is achieved due to high solubility of NBT dye in 2-methoxyethanol enabling the addition of very high concentrations of NBT dye in the film dosimeters. The dose response of conventional NBT-PVA dosimeter films are normally saturated after 50 kGy, while the invented composites of NBT-PVB dosimeter films demonstrated high dose range up to 100 kGy for high dose industrial use. |

1. A method of manufacturing a dosimeter film, comprising:
dissolving Nitro Blue Tetrazolium salt in ethanol at a concentration of 8-12 mM thereof to form a first dye solution; stirring the formed first dye solution at room temperature for 3 hours to ensure homogeneity thereof; dissolving polyvinyl butyral (PVB) powder in 2-methoxyethanol at 45° C. in a ratio of 9 gms of PVB powder to 110 ml of 2-methoxyethanol to form a second solution; magnetically stifling the formed second solution at 45° C. for 4 hours followed by cooling thereof to room temperature; dissolving a portion of the stirred first dye solution in a portion of the magnetically stirred second solution to form a mixture; pouring the formed mixture on a horizontal surface to form the dosimeter film; drying the formed dosimeter film at room temperature for 72 hours; and storing the dried dosimeter film in a closed environment to protect the dried dosimeter film from a light exposure. |
