Abstract

This study investigates the gamma-ray attenuation capabilities of ABS polymer reinforced with nano-sized yttrium particles. The analysis focuses on three key parameters: mass attenuation coefficient, half-value layer, and radiation protection efficiency. Utilizing a sol-gel process for polymer molding, various test samples were prepared and subjected to scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for surface structure examination. Then, experimental, theoretical, and simulation approaches are used to obtain gamma-ray shielding parameters. The base and additive materials are chosen as ABS polymer and yttrium nanoparticles, respectively, and the results revealed a consistent enhancement in gamma-ray attenuation characteristics with the incorporation of yttrium nanoparticles. These findings offer valuable perspectives for advancing the development of sophisticated radiation shielding materials, presenting potential applications across diverse fields including medical imaging, industrial processes, and nuclear technologies.
