    Evaluation of radiation shielding, secondary radiation, and radiation damage in boron carbide and chromium diboride reinforced polymer composites
    (Elsevier Science Sa, 2025) Ogul, Hasan; Akman, Ferdi; Ozdogan, Hasan; Kacal, Mustafa Recep; Tursucu, Ahmet; Polat, Hasan; Erkoyuncu, Ilhami
    The presented work studies the radiation shielding effectiveness of polymer-based composites reinforced with B4C and CrB2 for both gamma-ray and neutron protection. The incorporation of CrB2 was found to significantly enhance gamma-ray attenuation, with the BCCrB-50 formulation demonstrating the highest shielding efficiency. Neutron shielding performance was also improved, particularly at thermal and fast neutron energies, with the additives playing a key role in reducing neutron transmission. Total Ionizing Dose (TID) and Displacement Per Atom (DPA) analyses were performed to assess the composites' radiation resistance, revealing that the BCCrB composites effectively minimize radiation exposure. These results suggest that BCCrB composites are a promising, environmentally friendly alternative for radiation shielding in various applications, including nuclear energy systems.

    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.
