Plastic waste has become a major worldwide environmental threat. In this view, we exposed to gamma radiation six different polymer films, characterized by biodegradation rate; their surface properties along with the effect on rate in compost were investigated. Two polyesters, poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) and poly(propylene cyclohexane dicarboxylate) (PPCE), selected as biodegradable slow-degrading polymers; other hand, commercial films of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), low-density...
Polymer gel dosimeters represent a promising instrument for tridimensional radiation dose measurement highly conformal therapy techniques. In this study, the dependence of response polymeric dosimeter PAGAT was investigated as function different irradiation conditions and time elapsed after irradiation. An X-ray tube 60Co sources were used This allowed to assess variations in system under energies rates - ranging from 1.4 Gy h-1 up 0.14 kGy h−1. Analysis irradiated samples performed by...
Abstract Recently, the loss of expertise in nuclear- and radio-chemistry (NRC) is becoming an issue concern, because few engaging curricula career prospects. To counteract this trend, Massive Open Online Course “Essential Radiochemistry for Society” has been developed with intent letting young students scientific matters discover all benefits NRC to society improving their awareness these disciplines. The MOOC development process as well feedbacks collected first editions are analyzed by...
Abstract Environmental radiochemistry is a key pillar of the education nuclear engineering students and young professionals. Teaching fundamentals this multidisciplinary field best performed also through well-designed hands-on experiments. A simple fast radiochemical procedure has been developed to determine uranium in tap water by liquid scintillation counting. The proposed method provides reliable repeatable results, with accuracy precision within 5%. It can be proficiently executed...
The massive open online course "Essential radiochemistry for society" represents a modern form of education. Due to its attractive design, varied content and interactive nature, it has the potential appeal various interest groups. Thematically, is divided into five weeks: Radiochemistry environment, health, industry, nuclear energy society. In addition chemistry, which are basis course, direct connections can be found biology, physics, ecology, art culture. comprehensive; participant study...
