This article reviews the application of nanomaterials for radiation shielding to protect
humans from the hazards of radiation in space. The focus is on protection from space …

Polymer materials are increasingly being utilised in radiation shielding applications due to
their unique characteristics such as flexibility, durability, and cost-effectiveness. These …

Ionizing radiations are hazardous in the long run if exposed to a limit higher than the
permissible limit (20 mSv/year). It can cause serious health issues like cancer, cardiac …

In this work, five samples of high-density polyethylene have been made by varying bismuth
oxide (Bi 2 O 3) concentration 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 wt%. Scanning electron microscopic …

Polymer composites of polyvinyl chloride, PVC, were loaded up with micro and nano
PbO/CuO particles. The added percentage of each by mass was 10 wt.%, 20 wt.%, 30 wt …

In this work, novel γ-ray shielding materials based on recycled poly (vinyl chloride)(r-PVC)
were prepared via melt mixing and compression molding technique. The designed materials …

In the present work, high density polyethylene (HDPE) matrix mixed with micro-sized and
nano-sized Cadmium oxide (CdO) particles of different concentrations were prepared by …

Human beings are continuously exposed to cosmogenic radiation and its products in the
atmosphere from naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM) within Earth, their bodies …

Abstract Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/starch/graphene oxide nanocomposites containing different
ratios of tungsten oxide (WO3) were prepared for use in the medical field as low‐cost, facile …

This study has been devoted to investigate the radiation shielding performance of epoxy-
based micro and nano Bi 2 O 3 and WO 3 reinforced composites. While the research has …
