Abstract

Cancer is one of the highest causes of death in the world. The incidence is increasing every year. the incidence of cancer in Indonesia (136.2 / 100,000 population) ranks 8th in Southeast Asia, whereas in Asia ranks 23rd. Radiotherapy is a cancer treatment method that utilizes ionizing radiation. Research is conducted on the use of alginate powder which is reinforced with silicon rubber as a composite bolus material for radiotherapy shield applications at 8 mev energy. bolus composite as a radiotherapy shield using a mixture of silicon rubber, catalyst and alginate powder in variations (80:18:2)% wt, (80:16:4)% wt, (80:14:6)% wt, (80:12:8)% wt and (80:10:10)% wt also with bolus thicknesses of 5 mm, 10 mm and 15 mm. A mixture of silicon rubber is one of the synthetic polymer materials derived from polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), alginate powder and catalysts are expected to fill the blanks of bolus made from PDMS so that it has a more even density. Composite boluses were analyzed using CT-Scan to determine the relative electron density (RED) value, mechanical properties (tensile strength, and elastic modulus), and absorbed dose analysis using electrons at 8 MeV energy.
