A polystyrene (PS)-based composite resin dosimeter (CRD) film comprising 2-(phenylamino)-6-(dipentylamino)-3-methylspiro[9 H -xanthene-9,3'-phthalide] (Black305) fluoran leuco dye, cerium-doped yttrium aluminum perovskite YAlO 3 :Ce (YAP:Ce) scintillator, and 2-(4-methoxystyryl)-4,6-bis(trichloromethyl)-1,3,5-triazine (MBTT) photoacid generator was developed for the visualization of X-ray exposure doses in the range of 18-170 Gy. The color of the CRD film changed from yellow to black within this range based on the X-ray exposure dose. A CRD film based on Black305/YAP:Ce/MBTT/PS could be used to produce a dosimeter with various color change sensitivities by controlling the thermodynamic parameters of the constituent materials. A CRD film is a promising tool for measuring the X-ray exposure dose and can be used as an alternative to the existing radiochromic dosimeters.
