Abstract
The effect of BaTiO3 on the mechanical, thermal and radiation shielding properties of the borate glass with the composition of (60-x)B2O3 + 10MgO + 15Na2O + 15CaO+(x)BaTiO3 (x: 0,2.5,5,7.5 and 10 mol%) were synthesized by the melt quenching method. The physical, thermal, mechanical and radiation protection properties of the glasses produced with this designed composition were carefully investigated. As the BaTiO3 amount increased from 0 % to 10 %, the density of the glass increased from 2.571 to 2.870 g/cm3 and the glass thermal stability (ΔT) also enhanced from 51 to 63. The LAC value at 276 keV, 0.2831 cm−1 for 0 % BaTiO3 and enhanced linearly with increasing BaTiO3 concentration and reach to 0.3475 cm−1 at 10 % BaTiO3. The experimentally obtained MAC values are in agreement with the theoretically calculated MAC values with XCOM and MCNP6.2. It was concluded that the increase in the BaTiO3 value of the glass positively affects the radiation shielding properties of the glasses.
