“…The possibility of using nanocomposites in ionizing radiation shielding has been intensively studied in recent years. Polymer-based nanocomposites could be particularly interesting in medicine, where X-rays are a common tool in diagnostics as it was described in recent review papers [31,32]. On the other hand, Sobczak and Żyła summarized the latest developments in experimental and simulation studies on shielding properties of various composites, including polymer-, glass-and cement-based materials.…”

In this paper, a novel polylactide-based nanocomposite with the addition of bentonite as a filler, Fusabond, and glycerine as a compatibilizer and plasticizer, were prepared and investigated. Four samples with different contents of bentonite (1, 5, 10, and 15 wt.%), as well as three samples without fillers, were prepared with an easily scalable method: melt blending. The electrical properties of all prepared samples were investigated with broadband dielectric spectroscopy in the frequency range between 0.1 Hz and 1 MHz. Measurements were conducted at nine temperatures between 293.15 and 333.15 K (20 to 60 °C) with steps of 5 K. It was found that the increase in the content of bentonite in polylactide has a significant effect on the electrical properties of the prepared nanocomposites.
