    摘要: Calcein-PVA film and Calcein solution dosimeters is made for high dose applications. Systematic evaluation of dosimetric properties for the films is being conducted and was found useful for routine dosimeter in industrial radiation processing. The color bleaching of CA-PVA film and CA solution increases gradually with increasing absorbed dose in the dose range of 5-30 kGy for film, and 0.25-1 kGy for solution. The dose sensitivity increases significantly with increase of concentration of CA dye. The response of the CA-PVA films was slightly affected by relative humidity and temperature. The stability of film dosimeters and solutions after irradiation was very high and were stable for up to 30 days.

    摘要: The technical solution relates to the field of processing polymers and can be used in various branches of the national economy for manufacturing hollow articles of the bodies-of-revolution type (tubes), and in particular for manufacturing semifinished biodegradable polymeric stents which are usable in medicine for replacing hollow organs, for example blood vessels. The apparatus for manufacturing thin-walled bodies of revolution comprises a heatable expander which is mounted rotatably about a longitudinal axis, and a feeder for supplying moldable material, said feeder being mounted above the expander so as to be movable therealong, wherein the lower part of the feeder is heatable, the expander is hollow with a reflective internal surface, and the heater of the expander is in the form of a laser, the radiation of which is transported into the expander. The use of the apparatus will make it possible to reduce the thermal action on a polymer when producing semi-finished articles with defined geometrical dimensions from polymeric materials.

    摘要: A method for manufacturing a three-dimensional object layer by layer by applying and selectively solidifying a constituent material in powder form layer by layer by supply of energy has the steps: applying a layer (32+33) of the powdery constituent material (11) having a pre-determined height (h) onto a support (6) or a previously at least selectively solidified layer of the constituent material, and supplying energy (14) from an energy source (13) into the applied layer at positions corresponding to the cross sectional area of the object to be manufactured for selectively solidifying the constituent material. The step of applying the layer having the pre-determined height (h) is subdivided into a step of applying a first partial powder layer (32) having a first height (h1) which is smaller than the pre-determined height (h), and a step of at least applying a second partial powder layer (33) having a second height (h2) which is smaller than the pre-determined height (h), wherein the total height. (h1+112+ etc.) of the applied partial powder layers (32, 33, etc.) corresponds to the pre-determined height (h), and between the step of applying the first partial powder layer and the step of applying the second and possibly further partial powder layers, the powder layer applied last is heated.
