Radiation Shielding of Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composites Incorporating Lead Nanoparticles—An Empirical Approach

In the present work, an empirical approach based on a computational analysis is performed to study the shielding properties of epoxy/carbon fiber composites and epoxy/glass fiber composites incorporating lead nanoparticle (PbNPs) additives in the epoxy matrix. For this analysis, an MCNP5 model is de...
