The objective of this study is to examine the possibility of using the thermoluminescence (TL) of polymer fibers containing ground calcium carbonate (CaCO3 ) mineral fillers as emergency dosimeters. Calcite, consisting mostly of CaCO3 , is a TL material that exhibits two distinct TL peaks that can be exploited for dosimetry and is a naturally occurring mineral that is ubiquitously in use in everyday materials. |
