In this paper the thermoluminescent properties of spodumene-Teflon (R) composites were studied exposing them to different doses of a Co-60 radiation source, in comparison to the thermoluminescent properties of crystalline powder and of Teflon. The thermoluminescent emission curve of pure Teflon (R) pellets showed two peaks at 200 and 250 degrees C at doses above 1 kGy, which may influence the dosimetry of high-doses that uses crystals agglutinated with this polymer. Preliminary results show that the Teflon (R) causes an increased sensitivity in the TL signal of the pellet compared to the crystalline powder without the polymer, and that even the pure Teflon (R) pellet is a material that can be exploited for high-doses dosimetry.
