Abstract
In radiological work, it is necessary to use radiation protection devices to reduce the negative health effects of radiation. Currently, the most used material for protection is lead, but it has disadvantages such as environmental toxicity. The objective of this research is to study the epoxy shielding material for the development of radiation protection material. The materials were mixed epoxy resin and barium sulphate in various proportions and the radiation absorption properties were studied. The results found that the epoxy shielding material mixing with 70% barium sulphate had the highest radiation absorption properties at 97%. The conclusions of this study show that the epoxy shielding material mixed with barium sulphate can provide appropriate protection to low doses of radiation in diagnostic X-rays.
