Abstract

We have studied the X-ray and gamma radiation shielding parameters such as mass attenuation coefficient, linear attenuation coefficient, Half Value Layer (HVL), Tenth Value Layer (TVL), effective atomic number and electron density in some boron polymers of different boron based polymers [ Polymer A-PolyBorazylene (B 3 N 3 H 4 ), Polymer B- 4-Vinylphenyl Boronic acid (C 8 H 9 O 2 B), Polymer C- Borazine (B 3 N 3 H 6 ), Polymer D- 3-Acrylamidophenylboronic acid (C 9 H 10 BNO 3 ) Polymer E-Phenylethenylboronic acid (C 14 H 19 BO 2 ), Polymer F- 4-Aminophenylboronic acid (C 12 H 18 BNO 2 ) and Polymer G- 3- Aminophenylboronic acid (C 6 H 8 BNO 2 )]. We have also studied the neutron shielding properties such as coherent neutron scattering length, incoherent neutron scattering lengths, coherent neutron scattering cross section, incoherent neutron scattering cross sections, total neutron scattering cross section and neutron absorption cross sections in the boron polymers. We have compared the shielding properties among the studied different boron polymers. From the detail study, it is clear that the boron polymer Phenylethenylboronic acid is good absorber for X-ray, gamma radiation and neutron. Hence, we suggest that the boron polymer Phenylethenylboronic acid is good shielding material for X-ray, gamma and neutrons.
