“…To solve the problem of exposure to neutron radiation, it is necessary to limit the duration of exposure, maximize the distance from the radiation source, and use shielding material [8]. Over the past few years, several studies have been conducted on various protective materials against the dangers of ionizing radiation [9].…”

The nature and properties of neutron radiation impose specific requirements on the creation and operation of such materials. The presence of accompanying and induced radiation, weather conditions, as well as the peculiarities of the location of functional layers require a hierarchical approach to the development of such neutron-absorbing materials. It was shown that the conceptual scheme of creating Gd-containing protective materials consists in taking into account all factors of their operation. In particular, it is shown that the presence of neutron-absorbing components is a necessary but not sufficient condition for their successful application in environmental conditions. In this work, Gd-containing chitosan films were prepared as an example of the proposed conceptual scheme for the creation of environmentally friendly neutron-absorbing nanocomposites. The prepared Gd films were characterized and their neutron permeability was estimated. The approach presented in this work contributes to the development of sustainable and responsible production practices, supporting SDGs 9 and 12.

A Study on the Gamma Radiation Protection Effectiveness of Nano/Micro-MgO-Reinforced Novel Silicon Rubber for Medical Applications

In this work, we examined novel polymer composites for use in radiation protection applications. These prepared polymers are non-toxic compared with lead and show potential to be used as protective gear in different medical applications where low-energy photons are utilized. We prepared silicon rubber (SR) with different concentrations of micro- and nano-sized MgO. We used a HPGe detector to measure radiation attenuation factors at different photon energies, ranging from 59.6 to 1333 keV. We reported the effect of particle size on the attenuation parameters and found that the linear attenuation factors for SR with nano-MgO were higher than for SR with micro-MgO. The mean free path (MFP) for pure SR and SR with micro- and nano-sized MgO were determined, and we found that silicon rubber with MgO (both micro- and nano-sized) has a lower MFP than pure SR. The linear attenuation coefficient results show the importance of using SR with high MgO content for low-energy radiation protection applications. Moreover, the half-value layer (HVL) results demonstrate that we need a certain thickness of SR with nano-MgO to effectively reduce the intensity of the low-energy photons.
