Study the Effect of adding Carboxy Methyl Cellulose Powder to Low Density Polyethylene on Shielding Radiation for the X-ray

Abstract

Carboxy methyl cellulose  Low Density Polyethylene  Shielding radiation The attenuation measurements of x-ray of voltage range (21kv) for hosted polymer material were done using x-ray unit, in order to extract the effect of adding carboxy methyl cellulose material (CMC) to low density polyethylene on x-ray radiation attenuation . The linear attenuation coefficient (µ l ) was calculated for the voltage range mentioned above , through linear equations of the yield of graphic representation between the logarithmic absorption and the sample thickness X(cm). The mass attenuation coefficient (µ m ) could also be calculated through the graphic relation between the logarithmic absorption and the equivalent thickness of the sample X m (gm/cm 2 ) such that slope of the graphic relation represents linear the attenuation coefficient or mass attenuation coefficient. The calculated results indicated that the efficiency of
