Dosimetric Aspects of Sodium Polystyrene Sulfonate (NaPSS)
Abstract: Thermally stimulated luminescence (TSL), electron spin resonance (ESR), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic techniques are used to study dosimetric applications of sodium polystyrene sulfonate (NaPSS). The TSL, ESR, FTIR spectra are recorded for NaPSS-exposed different amounts of gamma radiation doses. The spectra observed under different conditions suggest that the NaPSS can be used for dosimetric applications based on the condition of linear variation of physical properties against the radiation dose.

Gamma- and Electron Beam-Induced Crystalline modification in Poly (Lactic Acid): Effects of Radiation Dose and Dose Rate
Abstract: Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) is an important commercial biodegradable polyester whose properties are dictated by its molecular architecture and semicrystalline nature. The application of ionizing radiation particularly gamma rays and electron beams is extensive for sterilization and materials processing. The effect of ionizing radiation on the crystallinity of PLA is complex however, since irradiation causes concurrently chain scission, radical formation, oxidation, recombination and mobility driven structural reorganization. This work studies the …

Dosimetric Aspects of Poly(ethylene- g - maleic anhydride)
Abstract: Electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy is considered to be finger print technique to identify chemical structures of irradiated polymers. To prove this, ESR spectra of unirradiated and irradiated maleic anhydride grafted poly ethylene (MANPE)are recorded under different conditions. The ESR spectra show multiplehyperfine lines with latent structure corresponding to macro radicals . Radiation dose dependency on chemical structure of MANPE has been investigated by recording ESR spectra at various radiation …

Nano‑Enabled CT for Cancer Imaging: From Molecular Targeting to Image‑Guided Therapy
Abstract: Nano‑enabled computed tomography (CT) exploits high‑atomic‑number (high‑Z) nanomaterials engineered with targeting ligands and therapeutic payloads to enhance contrast, enable molecular imaging, and support image‑guided interventions in oncology. Tumor‑specific nanoprobes such as RGD‑modified gold nanorods, polymer‑coated bismuth nanoparticles, and peptide, antibody, or aptamer‑functionalized platforms can intensify tumor conspicuity, allow early lesion detection and staging, and provide real‑time treatment monitoring. Integration of CT visibility with photothermal, photodynamic, chemo‑, radio‑, and immunotherapeutic functions …
