Abstract
  Researchers have studied the possibility of various polymer composites for radiation shielding applications. Lightness and non-toxicity of these materials are their significant advantages compared to Pb base traditional and common shields. In this research, polyethylene (HDPE)-based composites for shielding ...  Read More
