“…Umumnya, penelitian tentang bahan proteksi Gravitasi Journal avalable at. https://bestjournal.untad.ac.id/index.php/GravitasiFisika radiasi ditujukan untuk pasien atau pekerja radiasi, berupa perisai radiasi dalam bentuk dinding penghalang atau apron [6,8]. Di sisi lain, dinding ruang tempat instrumen sinar X hampir tidak terperhatikan, karena dinding ruangan tidak langsung terpapar radiasi sinar X, melainkan dinding ruangan hanya terpapar oleh radiasi hambur yang dosisnya rendah.…”

Selama ini penelitian hanya fokus pada cara dan pemakaian alat proteksi untuk pasien dan pekerja radiasi. Bahan proteksi paparan radiasi ionik lain yang penting bagi pasien, pekerja radiasi, bahkan masyarakat umum adalah dinding ruangan radiologi. Dinding ruangan radiologi mempunyai syarat tertentu, seperti ketebalan, komposisi bahan, dan warna. Dinding harus berwarna putih agar bersih dari kotoran maupun mikroorganisme. Dinding ruangan tidak terkena paparan langsung, melainkan melalui hamburan, sehingga dosis paparan rendah. Dengan memvariasikan tegangan tabung sinar X seperti yang digunakan pada diagnostik, dilakukan pengamatan terhadap perubahan komposisi cat dinding dengan X-Ray Flourosence (XRF). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan perubahan besar pada laju dosis 1,19 mGy/s atau pada tegangan tabung 80 kV. Senyawa yang terkandung dalam cat menurun persentasenya, bahkan senyawa K2O dan Nb2O5 tidak terdeteksi. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa jumlah pemakaian sinar X konvensional yang tinggi akan meningkatkan kerusakan cat dinding ruang radiologi.

“…Bila keadaan ini terjadi, dapat mengakibatkan kenaikan dosis radiasi hambur dalam ruang. Lebih jauh lagi, warna dinding harus putih agar kebersihan terjaga dan mudah terlihat bila ada bahan pengotor (jamur, debu, atau zat kimia) menempel pada dinding [8,9]. Untuk menjaga hal tersebut, maka dilakukan penelitian ini.…”

“…Existing radiation protection products generally accomplish shielding by using Pb. However, due to the risks associated with Pb, research toward the development of eco-friendly materials has been increasing in recent years [8][9][10]. For reasons of economy and workability, most radiation shields still use Pb as their main material.…”

As the scope of radiation use in medical and industrial fields has expanded, interest in radiation shielding is increasing. Most existing radiation shields use Pb-based products, primarily in the form of a laminated sheet, which requires attention as fine cracks may occur depending on the usage and storage conditions. The weight of the sheets limits users’ activities, and they pose a risk of heavy metal contamination. To address these problems, this study proposed a shielding fiber with improved flexibility and workability, and thus, produce a shielding garment. Masterbatches of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fiber were manufactured using the eco-friendly materials, BaSO4 and Bi2O3. Yarns were fabricated by the melt spinning process, and fabrics were woven. With 5 wt% of shielding material, the yarns’ shield against radiation and was sufficiently strong for fabric weaving. The fibers’ radiation shielding averaged 9–13%, with the Bi2O3 fiber displaying better shielding performance than the BaSO4. It is believed that the findings of this study on improving the yarn manufacturing process could be applied for protection against low-dose and scattered rays in medical applications and for aerospace radiation protection. In addition, the proposed shielding fibers’ flexibility makes them suitable for future use in the production of various radiation shields.

“…To minimize the risks of Pb exposure, there has been a constant effort to identify Pb-free X-ray shielding materials having comparable or better attenuation abilities than Pb-containing materials, with additional preferred properties such as transparency, flexibility, and self-healable. Examples of recent Pb-free X-ray shielding materials are: Bi 2 O 3 /polyvinyl chloride (PVC) composites [ 17 ], W/Bi 2 O 3 /high-functional methyl vinyl silicone rubber (VMQ) composites [ 18 ], W 2 O 3 /ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) composites [ 19 ], Bi 2 O 3 /wood/natural rubber (NR) composites [ 20 ], and Bi/high-density polyethylene (HDPE) composites [ 21 ], in which Bi and W compounds act as alternative X-ray protectively fillers to Pb. It should be noted that the attenuation efficiencies of the mentioned materials vary depending on the filler types, contents, and the manufacturing process of the materials [ 22 ].…”

X-ray Shielding, Mechanical, Physical, and Water Absorption Properties of Wood/PVC Composites Containing Bismuth Oxide

et al. 2021

The potential utilization of wood/polyvinyl chloride (WPVC) composites containing an X-ray protective filler, namely bismuth oxide (Bi2O3) particles, was investigated as novel, safe, and environmentally friendly X-ray shielding materials. The wood and Bi2O3 contents used in this work varied from 20 to 40 parts per hundred parts of PVC by weight (pph) and from 0 to 25, 50, 75, and 100 pph, respectively. The study considered X-ray shielding, mechanical, density, water absorption, and morphological properties. The results showed that the overall X-ray shielding parameters, namely the linear attenuation coefficient (µ), mass attenuation coefficient (µm), and lead equivalent thickness (Pbeq), of the WPVC composites increased with increasing Bi2O3 contents but slightly decreased at higher wood contents (40 pph). Furthermore, comparative Pbeq values between the wood/PVC composites and similar commercial X-ray shielding boards indicated that the recommended Bi2O3 contents for the 20 pph (40 ph) wood/PVC composites were 35, 85, and 40 pph (40, 100, and 45 pph) for the attenuation of 60, 100, and 150-kV X-rays, respectively. In addition, the increased Bi2O3 contents in the WPVC composites enhanced the Izod impact strength, hardness (Shore D), and density, but reduced water absorption. On the other hand, the increased wood contents increased the impact strength, hardness (Shore D), and water absorption but lowered the density of the composites. The overall results suggested that the developed WPVC composites had great potential to be used as effective X-ray shielding materials with Bi2O3 acting as a suitable X-ray protective filler.
