Abstract
The research aims to exploring the gamma-ray shielding capacities of polyacrylonitrile/chrome-filled polymer composites through a combination of experimental, theoretical and simulation methods. Additionally, employing MCNPv6 and GEANT4 simulation tools, the study evaluates the materials' performance against neutron radiation. The materials were subjected to various gamma-ray energy levels, and their shielding efficacies are analytically quantified using parameters such as Radiation Protection Efficiency (RPE), Mass Attenuation Coefficient (MAC), Linear Attenuation Coefficient (LAC), and Half-Value Layer (HVL). At various neutron energies and sample thicknesses, the numbers of transmitted neutrons were evaluated. Notably, composite P0Cr50 (not contain polyacrylonitrile and containing 50% chromium) emerges prominently, demonstrating superior radiation shielding characteristics against both gamma and neutron radiations. This attitude is attributed to its optimal chrome dispersion and density, positioning it as a promising candidate for radiation shielding applications in industrial and nuclear domains.
