Abstrakt: The electrical properties of nonconductive polyaniline (PANI) films exposed to gamma radiation for the purpose of gamma dosimeter were presented in this work. By exposing films to doses of gamma radiation up to 10 kGy, the films showed visually apparent gradual change in the current- voltage (I-V) characteristics. Electrical, conductivity also increased regularly in the same dose range. It can be suggested that gamma radiation dose has an effect on transformation of polyaniline in its nonconductive form to polyaniline in its conductive form (PANI-HCl) which may be used for dosimeter in a gamma doses up to 10 KGy.
