Effect of inorganic salts and glucose additives on dose–response, melting point and mass density of genipin gel dosimeters

Highlights • Inorganic salts and glucose additives effect on some GP gel properties were examined. • Gel samples were irradiated using 6 MV photon beam at different known doses. • A drop of melting point and gel strength was observed when salt was used as additive. • Glucose helps to adjust the gel...

Description
Summary:	Highlights • Inorganic salts and glucose additives effect on some GP gel properties were examined. • Gel samples were irradiated using 6 MV photon beam at different known doses. • A drop of melting point and gel strength was observed when salt was used as additive. • Glucose helps to adjust the gel mass density and improves the GP gel melting point. • Glucose additives improved the GP gel capability for 3D dose measurements.
