Study of Prepared Lead-Free Polymer Nanocomposites for X- and Gamma-ray Shielding in Healthcare Applications

Polymer composites were synthesized via melt mixing for radiation shielding in the healthcare sector. A polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA) matrix was filled with Bi<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> nanoparticles at 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40% weight percentages. The characterization of nanoco...
