POFA-PET Concrete as an Ionizing Radiation Shielding - Preliminary Review

PET and POFA are added to the concrete mixture as part of the suggested method because of their high silica content, and POFA has the potential to be a radiation attenuator. Conversely, a famous plastic called PET has good mechanical qualities and can improve the ability of concrete to shield. The ideal ratios of POFA and PET in the concrete mixture take radiation attenuation efficiency, water absorption, and compressive strength into account. The results have the potential to completely transform the gamma-ray shielding area by providing industries in need of strong radiation protection with an affordable and long-lasting solution. This paper discusses a prior project’s investigation based on the review and properties. These are based on prior research on the physical characteristics of POFA-PET-incorporated concrete mixers for shielding gamma rays.
