Radiological emergency dosimetry – The use of luminescent mineral fillers in polymer-based fabrics (2020)
Journal Article
Bossin, L., Bailiff, I., & Terry, I. (2020). Radiological emergency dosimetry – The use of luminescent mineral fillers in polymer-based fabrics. Radiation Measurements, 134, Article 106318. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.radmeas.2020.106318

Mineral fillers are widely used in the manufacture of thermoplastics and they are commonly found in the fabrics used to form bags. We show that carbonate mineral filler grains incorporated within faux leather fabrics and the coatings applied to woven...

Phototransferred TL properties of alumina substrates (2018)
Journal Article
Bossin, L., Bailiff, I. K., & Terry, I. (2018). Phototransferred TL properties of alumina substrates. Radiation Measurements, 120, 41-46. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.radmeas.2018.07.018

Alumina substrates, such as those found as surface-mount resistors in mobile phones, are currently the strongest candidate as a surrogate dosimeter material in emergency radiological scenarios using luminescence techniques. However, the rate of fadin... Read More about Phototransferred TL properties of alumina substrates.

Luminescence characteristics of some common polyester fabrics: Application to emergency dosimetry (2017)
Journal Article
Bossin, L., Bailiff, I. K., & Terry, I. (2017). Luminescence characteristics of some common polyester fabrics: Application to emergency dosimetry. Radiation Measurements, 106, 436-442. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.radmeas.2017.05.017

A set of garment polyester-mix fabrics was tested for their potential suitability as surrogate dosimetry materials using optically and thermally stimulated luminescence techniques. A strong native blue-stimulated optically stimulated luminescence and... Read More about Luminescence characteristics of some common polyester fabrics: Application to emergency dosimetry.
