Abstract:
Due to its mechanical, thermal, electrical, and multifunctional features, silicon-based polymer composites with high atomic number fillers are preferred for the development of novel materials for radiation shielding. The aim of this study was to synthesize Bi2O3 Nanoparticles Impregnated Polymer Nanocomposite. For that firstly we synthesized bismuth oxide Bi2O3 nanoparticles using the Sol-gel method. The XRD analysis confirmed the successful formation of Bi2O3 nanoparticles. The average crystallite size was around 25nm with a monoclinic Bi2O3 crystalline structure. Surface morphology was studied using SEM analysis and observed an average grain size of 195nm was. Then the as-synthesized Bi2O3 nanoparticles were incorporated with polydimethylsiloxanes (PDMS). After the corporation, the mixture was kept at 24 hrs to cure the film. After that, a cured film was peel-off from the petri dish, and check the radiation shielding by using gamma radiation. We get the linear attenuation coefficient of the composite with 20% filler amount as 0.206 cm-1.
