摘要: 随着核科学与技术的快速发展,X射线在医学、工业等领域的应用日益广泛,对屏蔽材料的性能也提出了更高的要求,开发新型的防护材料以有效降低辐射危害已成为辐射防护领域的重要课题。本文以天然皮革(NL)为基材,以CsI为高Z元素源(Z元素是指高原子序数的元素),采用“溶液浸渍-溶剂脱除”策略构建了一种新型的对中低能量X射线具有优异屏蔽性能的可穿戴X射线防护复合材料。结果表明:CsI能够均匀且稳定地分散在天然皮革的多层级结构中,4.5 mm厚的CsI2.0/NL复合材料对低能量段(16~48 keV) X射线的屏蔽效率可达到95%以上,对中能量射线(65 keV)的屏蔽效率可达到85%以上,接近或优于0.25 mm铅板,其密度仅为铅板的8.6%。此外,复合材料的力学性能和透水汽性不仅满足国家标准中对可穿戴防护服的性能要求而且优于商用铅衣。该复合材料质轻、便捷、屏蔽效率高,是一种理想的可穿戴X射线防护材料。Abstract: With the rapid development of nuclear science and technology, there has been an increasing application of high-energy rays in medicine, industry and other fields, which puts forward higher requirements on the performance of shielding materials, and developing new protective materials to effectively reduce radiation harm has thus become an important goal in the field of radiation protection. Here, an advanced wearable protective composites with excellent shielding performance for low- and medium-energy X-rays which using natural leather (NL) as the substrate and CsI as the high Z elements (Z elements refer to the elements with the plateau subral number) source was constructed via “impregnation-desolvation” strategy. The results indicate that the CsI is stably loaded and well dispersed into the hierarchical structure of NL. A 4.5 mm thickness CsI2.0/NL displays excellent attenuation efficiency of higher than 95% for the low-energy X-ray (16-48 keV) and higher than 85% for the medium-energy X-ray (65 keV), which is comparative or superior than that of 0.25 mm Pb plate, and its density is only 8.6% of Pb plate. In addition, the mechanical strength and water vapor permeability of the prepared material not only meet the requirements of national standard for protective clothing but also exceed those of the commercial lead apron. This work shows promising potential of CsIx/NL to be an ideal wearable X-ray shielding composites which features light weight, convenient and high X-rays shielding capabilities.
