Objective: Radiochromic EBT3 film is a later generation of radiochromic films. The aim of this study is to compare EBT and EBT3 radiochromic films in radiotherapy fields of breast cancer.Methods: A RANDO phantom was irradiated by a 6 MV Siemens Primus linac with medial and lateral fields of radiotherapy of breast cancer. Dosimetry was performed in various points in the fields using EBT and EBT3...

     Zinc Oxide (ZnO) nanorods and titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanostructures thin films were prepared onto glass substrates by the chemical bath deposition (CBD) method. The ZnO was structured as nanorods (NRs) while TiO2 was formed as nanoflowers plate as confirmed by Field-Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) images. The ZnO/Fe3O4 and TiO2/Fe3O4 nanostructures thin films were prepared v...

background and objectives: preparation and evaluation of nanocomposite films have become prevalent in recent years. depending on the purpose of using the film, and considering the effects and interaction effects of nanomaterial and other modifiers on the film properties, the amounts of nanomaterials and modifiers should be optimized. the effects of montmorillonite (mmt), glycerol (gl), and thei...

objective(s): the aim of this study was to insert nitrofurazone in a chitosan membrane to be used as a wound dressing.   materials and methods: several blend films using chitosan (cs) and polyvinyl alcohol (pva), containing nitrofurazone were prepared by means of casting/solvent evaporating technique. different characteristics such as mechanical properties, water vapor transmission rate (wvtr),...

co-fe films were electrodeposited on cu substrate from electrolytes with different co concentration  levels. x-ray diffraction (xrd) was used  to  investigate  the  films  crystal  structures. the  results  indicate that  if  the  co  concentration  is  less  that  the  fe  concentration,  the cubic  structure  appears  in  the  films, while  the  hexagonal  structure dominates when  the co  co...

Chromium oxide (α-Cr2O3) thin films were prepared using thermal annealing of chromium (Cr)films deposited on quartz substrates by direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering. The annealingprocess of the films was performed for different times of 60, 120,180 and 240 min. The influenceof annealing time on structural, morphological and optical properties of the prepared films wasinvestigated by diffe...

results gelatin films exhibited good tensile strength and elongation at break, water solubility, swelling, and water vapor permeability. incorporation of tam into the gelatin films caused a significant decrease in tensile strength and swelling, and a significant increase in elongation at break, water solubility, water vapor permeability and whiteness of the films. gelatin films exhibited low an...
