Evaluation of a ferrous benzoic xylenol orange transparent PVA cryogel radiochromic dosimeter
Abstract
A stable cryogel dosimeter was prepared using ferrous benzoic xylenol orange (FBX) in a transparent poly-(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) cryogel matrix. Dose response was evaluated for different numbers of freeze-thaw cycles (FTCs), different concentrations of PVA, and ratios of water/dimethyl sulfoxide. Linear relationships between dose and absorbance were obtained in the range of 0-1000 cGy for all formulations. Increasing the concentration of PVA and …
