Study of hydrogenation processes in radiation-resistant nitride ceramics

Investigation of the applicability of post-irradiation annealing to reduce the degree of disorder in AlN ceramic to proton irradiation

“…Simulation of hydrogenation processes as a result of implantation of protons into the structure of surface layer was conducted by irradiating ceramics with protons with an energy of 1.5 MeV and a dose of 10 16 cm −2 at the UKP-2-1 electrostatic accelerator (Almaty, Kazakhstan) [46]. Irradiation was done in vacuum, on a water-cooled target to reduce the posibility of thermal annealing of defects as a result of heating of the target during irradiation.…”

“…The formation of such areas is due Figure 6. Dynamics of changes in the surface morphology of ceramics [the image data for the initial and irradiated sample were taken from [46].…”

Structural and dielectric characterization of synthesized nano-BSTO/PVDF composites for smart sensor applications

“…16 Polyvinylidene fluoride, also known as PVDF, is a widely studied electroactive polymer due to its versatility in a variety of applications, including energy generation, bio-materials, sensors, and actuators. 17 PVDF is known to exhibit at least four different crystalline phases, characterized by distinct chain conformations; these are b, a, d, and g-phases, 18 of which the b and a-phases are considered the most significant for practical uses. Research in the field of PVDF has been geared towards discovering new methods of synthesis processing techniques and investigating the relationship between the crystalline phases and the material's properties for various applications.…”

Lightweight and Flexible Bi@Bi-La Natural Leather Composites with Superb X-ray Radiation Shielding Performance and Low Secondary Radiation

“…Lead and concrete are effective X-ray shielding materials because of their high attenuation coefficient and cost effectiveness . However, denseness, poor flexibility, and structural tailorability of these materials significantly limit their application as protection garments.…”

“…8−11 Lead and concrete are effective X-ray shielding materials because of their high attenuation coefficient and cost effectiveness. 12 However, denseness, poor flexibility, and structural tailorability of these materials significantly limit their application as protection garments. Although lead-based materials still dominate commercial X-ray shielding and some efforts are focused on combining lead into multiple polymeric matrices, these materials typically exhibit characteristics, such as low polymeric network density, poor dispersibility, and interfacial compatibility, which reduce mechanical properties of composites.…”
