Abstract
Different composition of polymer blend of low density polyethylene (PE ) and polystyrene (PS) have been studied to be used as a binder for th e preparation of Alanine/ESR dosimeter. The polymer binder and Alanine powder were blended in a Laboplastomil Mixer at 140 degrees C and the n it was pressed into a plastic film of 0.50 mm thickness. The film wa s cut into sample size of 250 mn x 2.5 mm and irradiated by gamma rays from a cobalt-60 source at different dose and dose rate. It was found that a blend of Alanine, PS and PE in composition of 60:30:10 is appr opriate to prepare the Alanine/ESR dosimeter.
