Synthesis of a new epoxy resin reinforced by ZnO nanoparticles for γ-ray shielding purposes: experimental and monte carlo simulation assesments

The work deals with the synthesis of new epoxy composites doped with ZnO nanoparticles. The radiation shielding performance for the synthesized epoxy-doped ZnO nanoparticles was measured experimentally using the narrow beam transmission technique. The method was performed using NaI (Tl), Cs-137, and...
