This research aimed to examine the radiation shielding properties of unique polymer
composites for medical and non-medical applications. For this purpose, polymer …

In the present study, the role of micro-size pozzolana in the enhancement of the radiation
shielding properties of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) was investigated. Therefore …

In this work, polymer composites of high density polyethylene reinforced by micro-sized and
nanosized cadmium oxide, lead oxide, and a mixture of both with filler weight fraction of 30 …

It has been confirmed from an experimental, as well as a theoretical, standpoint that metal
oxide polymer nanocomposites (MPNCs) represent a new category of advanced materials …

Abstract Polymer composites of Styrene-Butadiene Rubber SBR filled with Pb3O4 have
been prepared with different concentrations ranging between (4.5–37.8 wt%). The linear μ …

Background Radiation protection seeks to prevent the negative consequences of ionizing
radiation by reducing unneeded radiation exposure. Purpose A widely established principle …

Lead aprons are widely used as protective means against hazardous X-rays during medical
treatments. The aprons are rather heavy and uncomfortable and crack easily due to their …

Lead chloride, bismuth oxide and tungsten oxide filled epoxy composites with different
weight fractions were fabricated to investigate their x-ray transmission characteristics in the x …

Composite epoxy samples filled with PbO and Pb3O4 were fabricated to investigate the
mass attenuation characteristics of the composites to X‐rays in the diagnostic imaging …

Lead (Pb) is commonly used as a X-ray shielding material but has many limitations because
of its heaviness and toxicity; thus, it is imperative to be replaced with lightweight and Pb-free …
