Abstract

This work studied protective material consisting of several metal oxide composites (Pb3O4, WO3, SnO2, and Bi2O3)-natural rubber (NR) for X-ray and gamma-ray shielding. The composites were prepared through open milling and vulcanization processes and further characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), rheometry analysis, and density gauge. The attenuation coefficient of the sample was investigated using X-ray generators with voltages ranging from 50 to 140 kV and gamma-ray energies ranging and 356 to 1250 keV, respectively. The experimental results show that the linear attenuation coefficient of NR filled with metal oxides was significantly improved compared to pure NR. For gamma-ray 661 keV, the HVL of NR decreased from 9.0 cm to between 4.4 - 6.2 cm after it was filled with metal oxides. The Bi2O3-NR is the best suitable material for gamma-ray attenuation, followed by Pb3O4-NR, WO3-NR, and SnO2-NR. Meanwhile, for x-rays, the HVL of NR decreased from 2.0 cm to between 0.17 -0.31 cm after it was filled with metal oxides. The proposed metal oxide-NR composites can be appropriate as a flexible protective material for manufacturing wearable radiation shielding products such as gloves, aprons, rubber underwear, and other wearable materials.

一些用于伽马和低能X射线辐射屏蔽的金属氧化物-天然橡胶复合材料

本文研究了由几种金属氧化物复合材料(Pb3O4, WO3, SnO2和Bi2O3)-天然橡胶(NR)组成的x射线和伽马射线屏蔽材料。通过开磨和硫化法制备了复合材料，并用扫描电镜(SEM)、x射线衍射(XRD)、流变学分析和密度计对其进行了表征。用电压50 ~ 140 kV、伽玛射线能量356 ~ 1250 keV的x射线发生器研究了样品的衰减系数。实验结果表明，与纯NR相比，填充金属氧化物后NR的线性衰减系数显著提高，对于γ - 661 keV，填充金属氧化物后NR的HVL从9.0 cm降至4.4 ~ 6.2 cm。其次是Pb3O4-NR、WO3-NR和SnO2-NR。同时，对于x射线，NR填充金属氧化物后的HVL从2.0 cm下降到0.17 -0.31 cm。所提出的金属氧化物- nr复合材料适合作为柔性防护材料，用于制造可穿戴辐射屏蔽产品，如手套、围裙、橡胶内衣和其他可穿戴材料。
