To obtain gamma and neutron attenuation characteristics experimental measurements and
Monte Carlo simulations were carried out for hematite-loaded concrete samples. Also, the …

Boron carbide (B 4 C) is an important type of neutron radiation shielding material with
relatively high efficiency due to the high content of 10 B element. Incorporation of B 4 C …

Serpentine and boric acid are effective materials to produce the radiation-shielding concrete
(RSC) for attenuating the fast and thermal neutrons, respectively. Therefore, this study …

The paper presents a study on the properties of New Generation Shielding Concrete (NGS-
Concrete) modified by materials containing fast neutron moderators and thermal neutron …

The gamma and neutron shielding properties of different types of concretes have been
investigated. The effective atomic number, Z eff, and the effective electron density, N e, eff …

In this paper, different amounts of Szaibelyite (100, 300, 500, 700 and 900) were used to
prepare Szaibelyite/epoxy resin composites for neutron shielding. Microstructures of fracture …

Epoxy resin is cheap, flexible, durable and abundant material. Within this framework, it is a
very useful option in a comprehensive application field. In this paper, neutron shields based …

241Am–Be source and three samples including different amounts of boron atoms per unit
volume called colemanite, ulexite and tincal were used in total macroscopic cross section …

The present work aims to develop new epoxy-based composites with halloysite, basalt, PbO,
CuO, and Bi 2 O 3 fillers. The role of the utilized fillers in the structural properties of the …

In this study, a gradient material for shielding neutrons and gamma rays was developed,
which consists of epoxy resin, boron carbide (B 4 C), lead (Pb) and a little graphene oxide. It …
