Studies of the design, use, and characteristics of methacrylic acid-based polymer gel dosimeters
Polymer gel dosimeters are three-dimensional radiation-sensitive materials comprised of monomers and other chemicals distributed in an aqueous gelatin matrix. Upon irradiation by high energy X or gamma rays, free radicals formed within the water initiate polymerization of the monomers, resulting in...
