The Multi-gap Resistive Plate Chamber (MRPC) is an advanced form of ResistivePlate Chamber (RPC) detector where the gas gap is divided into sub-gaps. MRPCsare known for their good time resolution and detection efficiency for chargedparticles. They have found suitable applications in several high energy physicsexperiments like ALICE in LHC, CERN, Geneva, Switzerland, and STAR in RHIC,BNL, USA. As they have very good time resolution and are of low cost, they canbe a suitable replacement for very expensive scintillators used in PositronEmission Tomography Imaging. The MRPCs that are being used nowadays aredeveloped with glass electrodes. We have made an attempt to develop a 6-gapMRPC using bakelite electrodes. The outer electrodes are of dimensions 15 cm$\times$ 15 cm $\times$ 0.3 cm and the inner electrodes are of dimension 14 cm$\times$ 14 cm $\times$ 0.05 cm. The glossy finished electrode surfaces havenot been treated with any oil like linseed, silicone for smoothness. Theperformance of the detector has been studied measuring the efficiency, noiserate and time resolution with cosmic rays. This effort is towards thedevelopment of a prototype for Positron Emission Tomography with theTime-Of-Flight technique using MRPCs. Details of the development procedure andperformance studies have been presented here.
