Abstract
The preparation of a novel lead-free, flexible, and durable X-radiation protection composite material based on Carboxylated styrene butadiene (X-SBR) liquid rubber was done which can be used in protective garments. X-SBR emulsion was used as a matrix, while tin, tungsten, and barite powders were used as X-ray shielding fillers. To prove the high shielding properties of the composites, different samples were exposed to the energy of 50 and 120 keV. The microstructures of different composites were characterized with SEM. Tin-containing and its hybrids showed the highest mass attenuation coefficient. The composites containing tin-tungsten particles showed a synergistic effect. The desirability factor was calculated based on the rubber composite's mass attenuation coefficient and tensile strength. The tungsten sample and tin-barite hybrid had the best desirability factor compared to other samples. Also, the experimental results were compared with the data obtained from XCOM and despite a slight difference, they were in good agreement.
