Abstract
Radiation protection materials play a crucial role in various fields such as medical imaging, nuclear power generation, and space exploration. This review article provides a comprehensive overview of the use of wood composites for protection against X-rays, gamma rays, and neutron radiation. Wood composites offer promising properties in terms of radiation attenuation due to their unique composition and structure. This article systematically examines the properties of wood materials, such as density, composition, and structure, and their influence on radiation protection effectiveness. In addition, the article reviews the manufacturing and characterization methods of wood composites for radiation protection applications. It also discusses the mechanisms of radiation-wood interactions, including attenuation, scattering, and absorption. The article highlights recent advances and innovations in this field, such as the addition of additives and hybridization with other shielding materials to enhance radiation protection properties. The article concludes with insights into the challenges and future directions in the development and use of wood composites as effective radiation protection. This comprehensive overview is a valuable resource for researchers, engineers, and practitioners involved in the development and application of radiation protection materials, underlining the importance of the topic.
