Abstract:Radiation shielding materials significantly contribute to various fields. In this research, a new eco‐friendly nanocomposite shielding material based on high‐density polyethylene (HDPE) and natural fiberboard (NF) with different concentrations of barium oxide nanowires (BaO), bismuth oxide nanorods (Bi2O3), and boric acid (H3BO3) is constructed and investigated for 137Cs, 60Co gamma ray, and 142Am–Be neutron sources. Mechanical and physical testing and thermal analysis were conducted to assess the impact of na… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
