Abstract
Glass composite materials are the most widely used radiation shielding materials. Barium aluminosilicate glass have versatile properties which make them very useful for applications in industries. In the present study, the mass attenuation coefficient, effective atomic numbers as well as effective electron densities of barium calcium aluminosilicate glass (BCAS) were studied by adding boron nitride nanotubes in various concentrations. Analysis were conducted using phy-x/PSD simulation codes. It as was found that MAC and δa decrease with increasing photon energy in consistent with previous works. It was also found that attenuation parameters such as MAC, LAC, HVL and Zeff were all influenced by change in density of BCAS/BNNT glass. The present study found BCAS/BNNT1 glass as best for gamma radiation protection.
