Advanced Radiation Shielding Materials

Advanced Radiation Shielding Materials: Radiation and Radiological Protection provides an in-depth evaluation of the different types of radiation (x-rays, gamma rays, neutron, UV and EMI) and the development of radiation shielding materials that can be exploited for designing and use in multiple applications. This book also presents a review of the process parameters necessary to develop radiation shielding materials which will assist in the ongoing research to optimize and enhance processes such as the use of 3D orienting, CVD to create efficient radiation shielding material. This book plays a pivotal role and opens new avenues for research and development globally by providing an understanding of the mechanisms of radiation shielding and bringing these concepts to application using different materials. Comprehensive information to develop and characterize developed advanced radiation shielding material using current state-of-the-art technologies Analysis and comparison of experimental data on the physical parameters of the developed advanced radiation shielding material Knowledge generation and dissemination in radiation and radiation shielding materials in various applications of advanced radiation shielding material in a broad array of fields including space, healthcare, nuclear power plants, food technology etc Discusses environmental, ethical, and medical guidelines that are related to the use of advanced radiation shielding materials
