This paper revises the use of polymer nanocomposites to attenuate high-energy electromagnetic radiation (HE-EMR), such as gamma radiation. As known, high-energy radiation produces drastic damage not only in facilities or electronic devices but also to life and the environment. Among the different approaches to attenuate the HE-EMR, we consider the use of compounds with a high atomic number (Z), such as lead, but as known, lead is toxic. Therefore, different works have considered low-toxicity post-transitional metal-based compounds, such as bismuth. Additionally, nanosized particles have shown higher performance to attenuate HE-EMR than those that are micro-sized. On the other hand, materials with π-conjugated systems can also play a role in spreading the energy of electrons ejected as a consequence of the interaction of HE-EMR with matter, preventing the ionization and bond scission of polymers. The different effects produced by the interactions of the matter with HE-EMR are revised. The increase of the shielding properties of lightweight, flexible, and versatile materials such as polymer-based materials can be a contribution for developing technologies to obtain more efficient materials for preventing the damage produced for the HE-EMR in different industries where it is found.

“…The problem concerning the study of physical and chemical attributes and processes in the CM and condensed matter is resolved with the method according to which the Rayleigh Scattering of Mossbauer Radiation (RSMR) is registered and in which Mossbauer radiation interacts with electrons of matter (Zolotoyabko and Iolin 1986;Mossop, Kerr et al 1987). …”

“…Aluminium can be regarded as bone substitute material with atomic number Z=13 and mass attenuation coefficient of 0.276 cm 2 /g at 60 keV compared to bone's effective atomic number Z eff of 12.3 and mass attenuation coefficient of 0.273 cm 2 /g (Farquharson et al, 1997). K 2 HPO 4 solutions (Chong, 1989;Morgan et al, 1998;Mossop et al, 1987;Hussein et al, 2003a), aluminium powder (Royle and Speller, 1991), hydroxylapatite (Farquharson et al, 1997), and powdered dried bone (Royle and Speller, 1995) represent materials that have been used as trabecular bone substitutes. Dural (Farquharson et al, 1997) is used as cortical bone substitute.…”
