Study of Shielding Properties for NBR Rubber /Nano Silica Composites Against Gamma Radiation

Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Polymer and Textile Engineering (IOSR-JPTE) - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 2

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the influence of adding Nanosilica (NS) to Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR) as shielding materials for gamma radiations at minimal cost. Rubber silica nanocomposites were prepared by mixing nitrile rubber with surface modified and unmodified nanosilica. The Linear attenuation coefficient was measured experimentally and calculated for NBR rubber with different concentration of nano silica. It is concluded that the addition of nanosilica particles improves the mechanical and nuclear properties of NBR rubber. The increase of modified nanosilica particles increases the total γ-ray attenuation coefficient μ for all energies.
