Abstract
In this work, different types of Makrofol polycarbonate nuclear track detectors were used to offer specific strengths multi-talented accordingly to their properties to use it in a definite application. So, the structural, optical, and surface morphological properties were measured and identified by several techniques such as FTIR spectroscopy, UV–vis spectroscopy, Photoluminescence spectroscopy, roughness tester, SEM technique, and contact angle measurements. To differentiate their sensitivity to the radiation, the Makrofol types have been exposed to 300 kGy gamma-ray. The obtained results show that each kind of Makrofol film is characterized with distinct behaviors, which allows each kind to use in suitable important applications in different fields according to their properties.
