1. There, they hit the target, which may be a biological sample or shielding material . 2. Shielding material can be stationary around a rotating interior.3. The most effective shielding materials are hydrocarbons, e . g . polyethylene, paraffin wax or water. 4. In the first instance, microprocessor-equipped products are fitted with shielding materials to keep radio waves from entering or exiting. 5. The shielding material used wire gauze, fabric or foam is designed to have a significant acoustic impedance. 6. Studies of space radiation shielding should include tissue or water equivalent shielding along with the shielding material under study. 7. Depleted uranium is also used as a shielding material in some containers used to store and transport radioactive materials. 8. Has anyone ever tested how effective diamond is as a radiation-shielding material versus more traditional materials ( like lead )? 9. I'm trying to understand the concept of " build-up " of broad beam gamma radiation going through a shielding material . 10. The higher the energy of the gamma rays, the thicker the shielding made from the same shielding material is required.
