Investigating Thermal and Fast Neutron Shielding Properties of B4C, B2O3, Sm2O3, and Gd2O3 doped Polymer Matrix Composites using Monte Carlo Simulations

In this study, thermal (2.53*10-8 MeV) and fast (2 MeV) neutron total macroscopic cross-sections of paraffin, polycarbonate, and polyester matrix polymers doped with B4C, B2O3, Sm2O3, and Gd2O3 (at weight percentages of 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25%) were computed by using Monte Carlo simulations. Addi...
