Multilayer radiation shielding system with advanced composites containing heavy metal oxide nanoparticles: a free-lead solution

Abstract With the use of multilayer materials such as concrete, mortar and ceramics that were fortified with PbO, WO3 and Bi2O3 nanoparticles, our study's objective was to produce a an effective photon shielding system. Experimental evaluation of the radiation shielding efficiency of two sets o...
