Description

The polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) films dyed methylene blue containing different masses of boric acid and PVA powder were investigated. The dyed PVA films were irradiated by 60Co γ-source in a dose range from 10 to 150 kGy. The optical density changes at pre and post-irradiation of these films were studied by UV-VIS 2450 spectrophotometer at 668 nm wavelength. The gamma dose-response curves of the dyed PVA films were described by saturated exponential function of the energy transfer model with a high correlative coefficient. Fading effect of the dyed films after irradiation was investigated carefully. (author)
