Congratulations to Professor Mayeen Uddin Khandaker on the Successful Filing of Two New Patents

Congratulations to Professor Mayeen Uddin Khandaker, Research Centre For Carbon Dioxide Capture And Utilisation on the successful filing of two new patents, marking another significant milestone in radiation dosimetry research and innovation.
 

  1. "Thermoluminescent Neutron Dosimetry Materials and Method of Preparing the Same." This invention introduces hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) as a thermoluminescent material for reliable neutron dose determination. The material is significant for passive neutron dosimetry. Potential applications include radiation protection and monitoring in nuclear reactor facilities, medical radiation facilities, nuclear research, personal dosimeters, and long-duration neutron exposure assessment.

  2. "Thermoluminiscent Dosimeter for Mixed-Field Radiation Dosimetry." The invention introduces a gadolinium-doped lithium zinc borate (LiZnBO3:Gd) ceramic phosphor to enhance neutron-sensitive thermoluminescent response in mixed neutron-gamma radiation fields. This reusable passive dosimeter can support personal and area monitoring in medical LINAC facilities, nuclear reactors, research laboratories, industrial radiation processing, emergency response and shielding studies.
