Abstract:Coumarin 3-carboxylic acid (CCA)-loaded radio-fluorescent hydrogels have attracted interest for ionizing radiation dosimeters, but their sensitivity needs to be improved. In this study, we added ammonium persulfate (APS) to a polyacrylamide (PAAm)-CCA hydrogel. The introduction of APS improved the hydrogel dose sensitivity to 336.02 Gy
− 1
, which is 1.8 times that of the counterpart without APS. Our hydrogel can measure the X-ray dose in a range of 0 − 15 Gy with a lower limit of detect… Show more
“…Fluorescence sensors are also used to measure ionizing radiation doses. 17–21 Usually, the underlying mechanism of these sensors involves a weak fluorescence moiety combined with hydroxyl radicals due to water radiolysis, transitioning to a strong fluorescence moiety. Accordingly, the dosing can be measured by fluorescence methodology.…”
The probe REC that was created using coumarin and rhodamine B underwent fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) in the presence of Fe3+. This work provided precise measurements of Fe3+ concentrations and radiation doses.
