    In this study, CdS doped polyester composites were produced at different weight ratios, and the impact of dopant amount on gamma and neutron shielding characteristics of a new composite material were further evaluated: the composite matrix was doped at 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% CdS weight ratios of the prepared composite. Then, the produced polyester materials have been characterized using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns. Following the structure characterization, the prepared composites were tested using one gamma spectrometer system based HPGe detector with help of Na-22, Mn-54, Co-57, Co-60, Ba-133, Cs-137, Eu-152 and Am-241 radioactive point-isotropic sources in order to perform the evaluation in a wide energy range of gamma. The obtained results were compared to the results of Geant4 and WinXCOM simulation codes. On the last step of the presented work, the neutron removal cross sections of produced polyester composites were calculated using partial density of elements and their cross sections, and then, neutron shielding characteristics of the prepared samples were determined with help of Geant4 simulation toolkit. Both tested and simulated results of gamma shielding evaluation showed good agreement, and, for all considered photon energies, mass attenuation coefficient (mu/p) values of CdS (20%) were always found to be greater than the mu/p values of other samples (5%, 10%, 15%). The results for neutron shielding showed that neutron transmission was decreasing with the increase of CdS in the material. In short, having higher mu/p values and lower neutron transmission shows that increasing the amount of CdS in the sample causes the higher radiation shielding property for both gamma and neutron.

    Production and evaluation of the polyester composites containing pyrite and niobium diboride for radiation protection
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2025) Akman, Ferdi; Turhan, Mehmet Fatih; Ogul, Hasan; Tursucu, Ahmet; Erdogan, Taha; Kacal, Mustafa Recep; Polat, Hasan
    The presented study focused on investigating the radiation shielding properties of polyester/pyrite/niobium diboride (FeSNbB) composites. Various gamma-ray shielding parameters were evaluated with help of a HPGe detector system. Theoretical and simulation results are further evaluated by WinXCOM, GEANT4 and FLUKA codes, and the obtained results are compared with experimental values in the energy region 59.5 keV-1332.5 keV. The prepared samples are additionally evaluated using kerma relative to air values and Exposure build-up factors. Then, for the evaluation of neutron radiation shielding, effective removal cross sections for fast neutrons were determined for FeSNbB composites. Electron attenuation efficiency (AE%) for the produced composites was assessed across the energy spectrum of 4 MeV-18 MeV, utilizing experimental data from a Linac machine and theoretical predictions from Eclipse TPS. The results were found to be compatible with each other. FeSNbB50 has the best shielding properties among the studied composites.
