Micro- and Nanostructured Composite Materials for Neutron Shielding
Applications presents recent developments and future possibilities for
neutron shielding materials. Emphasis is placed on the correlation
between the morphology, shielding mechanisms, and other desired
properties, including their mechanical and thermal properties. The
effect of neutron absorbing fillers, including their size on final
properties is also examined, as are recent advancements in preparation,
characterization and simulation techniques. Written by specialists in
their respective fields, this comprehensive resource will help
professionals and students understand the fundamentals of neutron
shielding, as well as the properties of micro- and nanopolymer-based
composites, concrete materials, alloy materials and metal-ceramic
composites.
