Rhizophora spp. wood has the potential to serve as a solid water or tissue equivalent phantom for photon and electron beam dosimetry. In this study, the effective atomic number (Zeff ) and effective electron density (Neff ) of raw wood and binderless Rhizophora spp. particleboards in four differen...
