Boron-containing polyethylene is a relatively inexpensive neutron shielding material that can effectively prevent nuclear radiation from harming families and society.
The boron-containing polyethylene sheet is a novel composite shielding material which is made of polyethylene and which contains boron carbide dispersed therein by high-speed stirring, kneading, plasticizing and laminating.
Boron-containing polyethylene has good catalytic activity and is less corrosive to equipment and does not cause environmental pollution. Compared with traditional metals and concrete, boron-containing polyethylene composites have the characteristics of low density, good attenuation curve, convenient use, low cost and good processing performance. The polyethylene resin has high content of H element and good anti-irradiation performance.
