In recent decades, nanomaterials have been extensively investigated for many applications.
Composites doped with different metal nanoparticles have been suggested as effective …

Lead aprons are used in medical applications as a traditional shielding material, but this use
was faced by many health problems including toxicity, heavyweight, and cracks, this …

Abstract Radiation (X-ray/gamma-ray) shielding is an age-old problem and has been
studied in greater details up till now, due to their interactions being most prominent in many …

The integration of inorganic nanoparticles into a polymer matrix presents a category of
advanced materials, known as polymer inorganic nanocomposites (PINCs). In present work …

Polymer composites were synthesized via melt mixing for radiation shielding in the
healthcare sector. A polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA) matrix was filled with Bi2O3 …

PbO (lead oxide) particles with different sizes were incorporated into polystyrene (PS) with
various weight fractions (0, 10, 15, 25, 35%). These novel PS/PbO nano-composites were …

Background: It has recently been shown that the particle size of materials used for radiation
shielding can affect the magnitude of radiation attenuation. Over the past years, application …

The usage of composites as the shielding materials are highly recommended since they
could be used in order to attenuate the undesired radiation with unique properties and …

Abstract Six weight percentages (0, 2, 5, 10, 15, and 20 wt (%)) of barium titanate BaTiO 3
were doped as a nanoparticle in poly (methyl methacrylate) PMMA and their optical and …

The shielding properties of ordinary concrete doped with some micro and nano scaled
materials were studied in the current study. Narrow beam geometry was simulated using …
