Dyed polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) detectors using yellow, red, blue and green colouring compounds, commercially available in Brazil, were originally developed and characterised using the optical absorption (OA) technique for gamma radiation, with the aim of obtaining a sensitive, useful, practical and cheap dosemeter for use in the quality control of industrial gamma radiation processing. In this work these detectors were evaluated for electron OA response, for use in the quality control of electron accelerator radiation processing. The studied parameters were the absorption spectra, dose-rate dependence between 2.66 and 45.22 kGy s(-1); dose response between 1.2 and 110 kGy; and energy dependence of response between 0.8 and 1.5 MeV electron energy.
