X-Ray, Gamma, and Neutron Radiation Tests on Epoxy-Ferrochromium Slag Composites by Experiments and Monte Carlo Simulations

Neutron irradiation tests on B4C/epoxy composite for neutron shielding application and the parameters assay

“…Meanwhile, an improved flame retardancy property could be achieved through the utilization of some inorganic additives such as ATH 1 , MDH 2 or ZB 3 (Chai et al, 2015;Laoutid et al, 2009;Leeuwendal et al, 2002;Zhang and Horrocks, 2003). Therefore, using epoxy resin as a structure material in radiation facilities has become widespread and many investigations have carried out on epoxy based composite as radiation-shielding material (Aygün et al, 2015;Korkut et al, 2013;Lo Frano et al, 2011;Zhang, 2010).…”

Design, fabrication, and properties of a continuous carbon-fiber reinforced Sm 2 O 3 /polyimide gamma ray/neutron shielding material

“…As nuclear technology develops, the demand for neutron shielding materials grows and the types of shielding materials required need to be diversified [1,2]. In practice, many situations need the support of high-performance shielding materials, e.g.…”

Poly(vinyl alcohol)–bismuth oxide composites for X‐ray and γ‐ray shielding applications

“…5,6 High-density materials like concrete, which have effective shielding properties and are inexpensive and easy to fabricate, become weaker at elevated temperatures. 18,[23][24][25][26][27][28][29] Recently, poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) nanocomposites have been studied to compare the size effect of fillers on the transmission properties. [12][13][14][15] The presence of oxides of low-Z elements like beryllium, lithium, and boron in glasses helps to slow down fast neutrons and capture slower neutrons.…”
