Investigation on Physico Chemical and X-ray Shielding Performance of Zinc Doped Nano-WO<sub>3</sub> Epoxy Composite for Light Weight Lead Free Aprons

This report addresses a way to reduce the usage of highly toxic lead in diagnostic X-ray shielding by developing a cost-effective, eco-friendly nano-tungsten trioxide (WO<sub>3</sub>) epoxy composite for low-weight aprons. Zinc (Zn)-doped WO<sub>3</sub> nanoparticles of 20 to...
