Investigation of Gamma Radiation Shielding Properties of High-Z-Doped Multilayer PVA Polymers
Main Article Content
Abstract
Multilayer polymers have potential applications in various fields for radiation shielding. It is quite interesting to investigate the shielding properties of polymer composites in a combined manner. In the present investigations, the high-Z-doped PVA polymers such as PVA+50%Bi2O3 and PVA+50%Na2O4W were selected, and the multilayer buildup factors were calculated for various combinations of high-Z-doped multilayer PVA polymers using the Py-MLBUF software. The PVA+50%Bi2O3 and PVA+50%Na2O4W are coded, respectively, as A and B. The BA and BBA combinations have the potential to replace a single layer of high-Z-doped PVA polymers, and these combinations can be used as gamma-ray shields.
