Description

The radiation shielding properties of polyvinylidene fluoride composites mixed with tungsten carbide, trioxide and disulfide were studied. Simulation tools were used to analyze parameters such as mass attenuation coefficients, linear attenuation coefficients, mean free path and fast neutron removal cross section. The addition of tungsten carbide, trioxide and disulfide increased the fast neutron removal cross section and the MCNP5 simulations demonstrated the attenuation of radiation in the polyvinylidene fluoride gradient materials. These findings suggest the potential of polyvinylidene fluoride composites for effective radiation shielding applications

Abstract (Russian)

Были изучены радиационно-защитные свойства композитов из поливинилиденфторида, смешанных с карбидом, триоксидом и дисульфидом вольфрама. Инструменты моделирования использовались для анализа таких параметров, как массовые коэффициенты ослабления, линейные коэффициенты ослабления, средняя длина свободного пробега и поперечное сечение удаления быстрых нейтронов. Добавление карбида, триоксида и дисульфида вольфрама увеличило сечение удаления быстрых нейтронов, а моделирование MCNP5 продемонстрировало ослабление излучения в градиентных материалах из поливинилиденфторида. Эти результаты свидетельствуют о потенциале поливинилиденфторидных композитов для эффективной защиты от радиации
