Description

A self-supporting radiation-sensitive material for use in dosimetry comprises a matrix base, an acid-sensitive dye (e.g. an azo dye such as dimethyl yellow), and a solid halogen-containing substance (e.g. a chloroalkane such as hexachloroethane), the material being capable of producing a halo-acid upon radiolysis. The matrix base is a solid polymer such as poly(methyl methacrylate), which is insoluble in the halogen-containing substance. (author)
