摘要

2098909 9211519 PCTABS00014 A container (10) for a liquid crystal cumulative dosimeter including a resilient outer body (12) sealed to confine a first liquid crystal composition constituent (14) and a second liquid crystal composition constituent (16) and having at least one transparent section (20) to permit observation of the color of the confined composition, and a barrier (30, 40) contained completely within and physically unattached to the outer body for separating the first constituent from the second constituent, whereby disruption of the barrier allows the first constituent to mix with the second constituent. The barrier is formed either by encapsulating one or both of the constituents or by using air bubbles. Methods of manufacturing the various containers shown and processes of using those containers are also disclosed.
