Abstract

A method of making and using a liquid crystal cumulative dosimeter container including a resilient outer body sealed to confine a first liquid crystal composition constituent and a second liquid crystal composition constituent and having at least one transparent section to permit observation of the color of the confined composition, and a barrier 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 seocnd constituent. The barrier is formed either by encapsulating one or both of the constituents or by using air bubbles.
