Abstract:We develop an ultra-thin, highly filled, neutron-shielding material. This material exhibits a desirable neutron-shielding performance, and also has certain advantageous mechanical properties and uses. We study the physical properties of shielding materials with different polyolefins as base materials, and investigate the neutron-shielding performance of boron-containing and lithium-containing shielding materials. We furthermore report on the effect of additive amounts of functional additives on shielding prope… Show more
