Abstract
Herein, a bioactive glass system in the structure of SiO2Na2O- P2O5CaO-B2O3 have been reported to act as X-ray radiation shielding material. The mass attenuation coefficient (MAC) was estimated utilizing MCNP5 code and Phys-X software for a range of photon energies from 15 keV to 100 keV. The maximum difference between the MAC (MCNP5 and Phys-X) is determined to be 2.6% at 15 keV and 4% at 100 keV. The effective atomic number (Zeff) results showed that the glass coded as BioG1 has the highest Zeff. The mechanical properties of the tested bioactive glasses were calculated by determining several parameters such as Packing factor, Dissociation energy and Bulk module. The Packing factor (Vi) increases from 12.721 to 16.598 as the content of B2O3 changes from 0 to 53.85 mol%, and dissociation energy (G) increases from 58.283 to 75.669 kcal/cm3 due to the increase of the B2O3 from 0 to 53.85 mol%.
