Advanced Radiation Shielding Materials: Radiation and Radiological Protection provides an in-depth evaluation of the different types of radiation (x-rays, gamma rays, neutron, UV and EMI) and the development of radiation shielding materials that can be exploited for designing and use in multiple applications. The book also presents a review of the process parameters necessary to develop radiation shielding materials which will assist in the ongoing research to optimize and enhance processes such as the use of 3D orienting and CVD to create efficient radiation shielding material. This book will play a pivotal role and opens new avenues for global research and development by providing an understanding of the mechanisms of radiation shielding and bringing these concepts to application using different materials. - Provides comprehensive information on how to develop and characterize advanced radiation shielding materials using current state-of-the-art technologies - Analyzes and compares experimental data on the physical parameters of advanced radiation shielding materials - Presents the latest knowledge on radiation shielding materials for various applications, including space, healthcare, and nuclear energy - Discusses environmental, ethical, and medical guidelines related to the use of advanced radiation shielding materials
