Polymer modification has been practiced since the very early technological development of
human kind by transforming natural resources into value-added commodities. Ever since the …

Recent advances in radiotherapy technology and techniques have allowed a highly
conformal radiation to be delivered to the tumour target inside the body for cancer treatment …

Fricke gel dosimeters have great potential for three‐dimensional (3D) dose verification in
radiation therapy; however, they suffer from time‐dependent ion diffusion after irradiation …

Purpose of this study is to test if possible effects of gelation temperature and pH on the cross-
linking process between poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA) and glutaraldehyde (GTA), have …

The chelator eriochrome cyanine R (ECR) in aqueous solutions forms metal complexes with
Fe (III) ions with 1: 1 (metal: ligand) stoichiometry. Because ECR absorbs light in the visible …

A gel dosimeter has been developed utilising a recently reported system for reducing Fe 3+
diffusion in a Fricke gel dosimeter which chelates xylenol orange to the gelling agent poly …

The presence of a Fe 3+ selective ligand plays a key role in Fricke-gel dosimeters to
preserve the 3D absorbed dose distribution. In this study, a novel Fe 3+ selective ligand is …

Xylenol orange functionalized gold nanoparticles (XO-AuNPs), prepared by reducing HAuCl
4 in presence of xylenol orange were found to be selective and sensitive for optical sensing …

In this article, the new zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc)-based poly (vinyl alcohol) s (PVA-Pcs) are
synthesized by copper (I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition click reaction (CuAAC) …

Investigations regarding the feasibility, reliability, and accuracy of Fricke gel dosimeter
layers for stereotactic radiosurgery are presented. A representative radiosurgery plan …
