본 의료기관에서 사용되는 방사선 차폐체는 주로 납을 활용하여 제품과 부속품을 제작한다. 납은 가공성과 경제성이 우수하지만 폐기 시 환경 문제로 인해 사용량을 줄이고 있으며, 오랫동안 사용했을 시 크랙 현상과 중력에 의한 처짐 현상으로 인해 차폐막, 차폐벽, 의료기기 부픔 등으로 장기간 사용하기에는 한계가 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 구리, 주석 등을 사용하지만, 아직 차폐성능을 제어하기에는 제작 공정에 어려움이 있어 대부분 텅스텐을 많이 사용하고 있다. 그러나 아직 텅스텐의 종류에 따른 특성이 잘 제시되지 못해 다른 차폐재와의 비교가 어렵다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 순수 텅스텐, 탄화텅스텐, 산화 텅스텐을 이용하여 동일한 공정으로 의료방사선 차폐시트를 제작하여 시트 단면의 입자 구성과 차폐성능을 비교하였다. 비교 결과 순수 텅스텐, 탄화텅스텐, 산화 텅스텐 순으로 차폐성능이 우수한 것으로 나타났다.

건축물의 외벽 등에서 전자파를 차단하게 되면 건축물 안의 전자기장의 강도를 효과적으로 감소하게 되어 전자파 장해의 감쇠를 가져오므로 이에 대한 기술 개발에 관심이 크다. 본 연구에서는 반도체 분야에서 발생되는 SiC 부산물과 흑연을 선정하였고 분쇄 등 전처리 후 모르타르에 혼입하여 물성 및 전자파 차폐 성능을 평가하였다. 각 차폐 소재의 경제성을 고려하여 실험체 최외측 10% 부피만 각각의 차폐 소재를 혼입하여 차폐 성능을 평가하였고 차폐 효과 평가식을 활용하여 실험체 전체 부피에 차폐 소재를 혼입한 실험체를 제작할 경우 차폐 성능을 예측하였다. 실험 결과, SiC 알갱이 형태의 차폐 소재 혼입 시차폐 성능은 최대 20dB, 흑연 분말을 차폐 소재로 혼입 시 차폐 성능은 최대 18dB, SiC 분말을 차폐 소재로 혼입 시 차폐 성능은 최대 28dB로 예측 되었고 99.9%의 차폐율을 갖는 것으로 알려진 30dB에 근접한 우수한 차폐 성능을 가지는 것을 확인하였다.

Radiation exposure is on the rise as the working hours of radiation workers increase. Accordingly, the importance of protection products for decreasing the dose of exposure has risen, and excellent X-ray shielding ability and light weight are required. The purpose of this study is to compare the Pb which use currently and other elements in order to reduce the exposure of workers to the most effective protection products. For experiment, we used the general X-ray equipment and angiography equipment, and obtained the Pb and apron's shielding rate. When the shielding rate of Pb and apron was compared in general X-ray equipment, the shielding rate was 95.1% for Pb 0.5 mm, 96.1% for apron 0.5 mmPb and 95.6% for Bi+W 0.5 mmPb. When compared the shielding rate of each aprons in angiography equipment, 0.5 mmPb apron was the highest as 96.4% and Bi+W 0.25 mmPb apron was the lowest as 90.2% at the 50 cm distance. The shielding rate of 0.5 mmPb apron was the highest as 95.7% and Bi+W 0.25 mmPb apron was the lowest as 85.9% at the 100 cm distance. As a result of evaluating the apron efficiency through this study, 0.5 mmPb apron showed the best shielding rate, but it was the heaviest apron. 0.35 mmPb apron and Bi+W 0.25 mmPb apron weighed light but had low shielding rate. Through the results of this experiment, it is recommended that radiation workers reduce radiation exposure by using more efficient protection products.

최근 인터벤션의 중요성이 증가한 만큼 시술을 수행하는 의료진의 건강에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 기존의 방사선 차폐 기구는 시술자의 동선을 제한하고 감염의 위험으로 인해 적절하게 사용되지 못했으며 시술자의 생식선과 나아가 시술실 전체 영역의 적절한 방사선 차폐가 이루어지지 못했다. 시술 시 사용되는 팔꿈치 지지대에 차폐체(bismuth)를 부착하여 보조 차폐 기구를 제작하였고 방사선 차폐 효과를 측정하였다. 측정 결과, 평균 공간 선량률이 약 64.8% 감소하였으며 독립표본 T검정 분석 결과 유의확률 이하(p<0.05)로 통계학적으로 유의미하게 나타났다. 보조 차폐 기구의 사용은 시술자의 생식선 차폐 및 시술실 전체 영역의 방사선 공간 선량률을 감소시킬 수 있는 효과적인 차폐 방법으로 사료된다.

Electromagnetic interference(EMI) shielding characteristics of composite filled with Cu flake and carbon brush powder as hybrid conductive filler and EAF slag have been studied. The coaxial transmission line method of ASTM D4935-99 was used to measure the EMI Shielding effectiveness of composites as formulation in frequency rage $100\~1,000MHz$ The SE also increases with the increase in flier loading. The hybrid filler filled composites show higher SE compared to that of only Cu flake. The correlation between SE and conductivity of the various composites is also discussed. The results indicate that the composites having higher filler loading$({\geq}40wt.\%)$ can be used for the purpose of safety materials to protect hazardous electromagnetic interference.

At recent time, superconducting technology makes it possible to develop various devices using strong magnetic fields. As increasing with devices using high magnetic fields, magnetic shielding technology is essential in order to get high efficiency. Therefore it is necessary to establish production method and clear characteristics of suitable shielding materials. Usually, ferromagnetic metal has been used for shielding of high magnetic fields up to the present time. Instead of heavy ferromagnetic metal, we can acquire better upgraded shielding system by using of very light superconducting thin film that has a perfect diamagnetism. We would like to study basic characteristics of NbTi thin film produced by RF sputtering, investigated morphology and crystal structure of NbTi thin film by SEM and XRD, identified superconductivity measuring by critical current.

A comprehensive study of photon interaction features has been made for some alloys containing Pd and Ag content to evaluate its possible use as alternative gamma radiations shielding material. The mass attenuation coefficient (${\mu}/{\rho}$) of the present alloys was measured at various photon energies between 81 keV-1333 keV utilizing HPGe detector. The measured ${\mu}/{\rho}$ values were compared to those of theoretical and computational (MCNPX code) results. The results exhibited that the ${\mu}/{\rho}$ values of the studied alloys are in the same line with results of WinXCOM software and MCNPX code results at all energies. Moreover, Pd75/Ag25 alloy sample has the maximum radiation protection efficiency (about 53% at 81 keV) and lowest half value layer, which shows that Pd75/Ag25 has superior gamma radiation shielding performance among the other compared alloys.

Recent advancements in electronic devices and wireless communication technologies, particularly the rise of 5G, have raised concerns about the escalating electromagnetic pollution and its potential adverse impacts on human health and electronics. As a result, the demand for effective electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials has grown significantly. Traditional materials face limitations in providing optimal solutions owing to inadequacy and low performance due to small thickness. MXene-based composite materials have emerged as promising candidates in this context owing to their exceptional electrical properties, high conductivity, and superior EMI shielding efficiency across a broad frequency range. This review examines the recent developments and advantages of MXene-based composite materials in EMI shielding applications, emphasizing their potential to address the challenges posed by electromagnetic pollution and to foster advancements in modern electronics systems and vital technologies.

Photons with the energy of 60 keV are regularly used for some kinds of bone density examination devices, like the single photon absorptiometry (SPA). This article reports a flexible and lightweight rare earth/polymer composite for enhancing shielding efficiency against photon radiation with the energy of 60 keV. Lead oxide (PbO) and several rare earth element oxides (La₂O₃, Ce₂O₃, Nd₂O₃) were dispersed into natural rubber (NR) and the photon radiation shielding performance of the composites were assessed using monte carlo simulation method. For 60 keV photons, the shielding efficiency of rare earthbased composites were found to be much higher than that of the traditional lead-based composite, which has bad absorbing ability for photons with energies between 40 keV and 88 keV. In comparison with the lead oxide based composite, Nd₂O₃-NR composite with the same protection standard (the lead equivalent is 0.25 mmPb, 0.35 mmPb and 0.5 mmPb, respectively), can reduce the thickness by 35.29%, 37.5% and 38.24%, and reduce the weight by 38.91%, 40.99% and 41.69%, respectively. Thus, a flexible, lightweight and lead-free rare earth/NR composite could be designed, offering efficient photon radiation protection for the users of the single photon absorptiometry (SPA) with certain energy of 60 keV.
