Understanding neutron-shielding properties of self-healing poly(vinyl alcohol) hydrogels containing rare-earth oxides through simulations

This work assessed the theoretical neutron-shielding capabilities of autonomously self-healing poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) hydrogels containing rare-earth oxides, namely samarium oxide (Sm2O3), europium oxide (Eu2O3), and gadolinium oxide (Gd2O3), through PHITS and GEANT4 simulations. The assessment c...
