2 INTRODUCTION Polymer gels have been proven to be a valuable tool for determination of beam dose characteristics and 3D radiation dose measurements for medical purposes [1-3]. A typical gel dosemeter consists of water, gelatin agent, monomers and a cross-linker comonomer [4,5]. Many chemical compositions have been proposed for dosimetric purposes, but only a few have been carefully tested [4,5]. To evaluate the interaction between monomer consumption and polymer production is very important [6]. 2
3 AIM OF THE STUDY The aim of this study was to identify the radiation interaction mechanisms on photon irradiated npag and nmag polymer gels in accordance with analysis of characteristic vibrational modes of dose gel components
4 POLYMER GELS PREPARATION AND IRRADIATION npag nmag 89% Highly purified water 86% Highly purified water 5% Gelatine 8% Gelatine 3% Acrylaimde 6% Methacrylic acid 3% N; N- methylenebisacrylamide 10 mmol/l Hydroxymethyl phosphonium chloride - 10 mmol/l Hydroxymethyl phosphonium chloride Fig.1. Preparation of the dose gel. npag and nmag polymer gels were irradiated by Co 60 photon source of teletherapy unit (ROKUS M) by 2 Gy dose. Dose rate of 0.03 Gy/ min, SSD 100 cm, field opening cm. 4

10 CONCLUSIONS Photon irradiation of Co 60 was applied to normoxic npag and nmag polymer dose gels to perform a polymerization process. The Micro-Raman spectra and full-width half-maximum calculations, showed the incensement of polymer representing vibrational bands and sharp reduction of monomer fraction. The reduction of BIS proved the theory of cross-linker consumption and its importance in network structure formation. The results agreed with the studies of other researchers, however more tests are needed to evaluate the consumption rate of monomers and cross-linker. 10
