Fabrication of polymeric shields to attenuation ionizing radiation and a flame retardant supported by nano-bismuth oxide prepared by co-deposition

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: The results of the preparation of protective shields from ionizing radiation , flame retardant from pure epoxy supported by nano-bismuth oxide , show that the protective shields supported by nanoparticles improve the attenuation properties, the thermal stability , the flame retardancy and mechanical properties. Also, the polymeric shield supported by Bi 2 O 3 (Na 2 CO 3 ) retardant the flame much better than supported by Bi 2 O 3 (NaOH). Finally, the quality of the protective shields increased as the energy of the photons of the ionizing rays decreased.
