Inspection of Radiation Shielding Proficiency and Effect of Gamma-Ray on ESR and Thermal Characteristics of Copper Oxide Modified Borate Bioglasses
Journal of Inorganic and Organometallic Polymers and Materials(2022)
Abstract
Samples of copper-modified bioactive borate glasses were synthesized and their radiation shielding properties including gamma-ray and neutron radiation shielding were investigated. Further, the glasses’ mass attenuation coefficients were measured with a NaI(Tl) detector while their gamma-ray shielding parameters were estimated using Phy-X/PSD program. Free-radical densities were measured via electron spin resonance to estimate the absorbed doses during accidental irradiation. The extensive reduction of the dose detection threshold (2 Gy) required the estimation of the signal of the non-irradiated sample. In addition, the effects of applied microwave power and absorbed dose on synthesized samples were studied. Finally, the thermal annealing of the emerging peaks, which were due to the irradiation signal-to-noise ratio and energy dependence, was studied to estimate the stabilities of such peaks. This modified material is recommended to detect and monitor the gamma-radiation dose because of its good dosimetric properties. Finally, regarding the presence of the two borate groups, triangular and the tetrahedrally coordinated, in their definite and typical wavenumbers, the FTIR spectra displayed simplified vibrations that were close to those of many bioglasses. This paper provides complementary results for the author's previous research examining this glass for low photon dose measurements using luminescence characteristics.
