Comparative analysis of the effectiveness of natural polymers and conventional space radiation shielding polymers in spacecraft for prolonged space expeditions
This paper investigates the shielding effectiveness of natural polymers, such as natural rubber and cotton, against space radiation. The results are compared with those of conventional shielding materials, such as polyethylene, Kevlar, and polycarbonate. Monte Carlo simulations were performed using...
