Living things on Earth are directly or indirectly exposed to radiation. This radiation can either
be naturally or artificially generated. Ionizing radiation is the one that possesses enough …

Polymer nanocomposites are promising alternates to toxic lead-based shielding material
and have huge potential for practical applications, such as, in diagnostic X-ray shielding …

Constant exposure to ionizing radiation such as X-rays can be hazardous to human health.
Conventional lead (Pb)-based shielding materials are limited by their heaviness and toxicity …

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 …

Lead (Pb) as a traditional shielding material is limited due to its toxicity and heaviness.
Recently, nanomaterials in different forms have attracted considerable attention for radiation …

Six commercial, lead-free, radiation protective materials were tested for their attenuation
across a range of X-ray energies used in medical diagnostic imaging and interventional …

Plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC) composites were prepared with tantalum oxide V (Ta 2
O 5) and/or bismuth oxide III (Bi 2 O 3) nanoparticles (NPs) at different concentrations and …

Plasticized and gamma crosslinked PVC composites were prepared by adding different
amounts of Bi 2 O 3 particles to evaluate their low energy X-ray radiation shielding …

The use of diagnostic radiation in medical centers has spread due to the incidence of
various diseases. Thus, it is essential that patients and medical staff wear protective clothing …

The aim of the present study is to fabricate an economical, environmentally friendly, easily
workable, light-weight and comfortable textile-based radiation shield. At first, polyester …
