By preparing Fe3O4/graphene oxide nanocomposites in polymers, excellent processability, high sensitivity, and good solubility were achieved. Photophysical interactions of the nanocomposites were studied, and real-time dosimetric responses of the sensors were evaluated. Enhanced photoelectric response and gamma harvesting properties were observed in the prepared sensors compared to non-magnetic GO sensors.
The outstanding properties of graphene oxide and its magnetic nanocomposites are triggering extensive interests of scientists, whereas how to fully optimized the integrated functions for the fabrication of gamma ray sensor systems with unique attributes remains to be a challenge. Here, we report a facile approach to produce Fe3O4/ graphene oxide nanocomposites in polyvinyl acetate and polymethyl methacrylate (Fe3O4/GO/PVAc & Fe3O4/GO/PMMA) which showed the integrated properties of excellent processability, high sensitivity for gamma ray and good solubility. Photophysical interactions between Fe3O4, graphene oxide nanosheets and polymers have been investigated and compared using ohmic contact detectors with gold electroplated electrodes. Real-time dosimetric responses of the sensors such as repeatability, sensitivity and the linearity of dose rate response against gamma radiation source were also assessed. An increase in the photoelectric response and gamma harvesting properties in prepared sensors was observed with respect to non-magnetic GO sensors.
