Abstract

The thermoluminiscent properties of MEH-PPV and MDMO-PPV conjugated polymers were studied in order to verify if they are suitable for use as TL dosimeter. The dose response that was analyzed cover the wide dose range 0.34-5.44 kGy. The measured glow curves show complex structures which were evaluated with kinetic parameters based on the MO (Mix Order) model together with the CGCD (Computerized Glow Curve Deconvolution) homemade program which is useful to understand the mechanisms responsible for TL emission.
