- Abstract
Shields for biomedical applications to attenuate the gamma- and x-rays are fabricated from PVA, PEG and lead oxide nanocomposites with low cost, lightweight, high corrosion resistance, and high attenuation. Structural and optical characterizations of PVA–PEG–PbO2 nanomaterials are investigated. Results show that the PVA–PEG–PbO2 nanomaterials have high absorbance for high-energy radiations. The optical characteristics of blend are changed with the increase in PbO2 nanoparticles’ content.
