An energy absorption material, especially in the form of apparel, is disclosed. The material comprises a layer of a polymer composition formed from 7-30% by weight of a specified polar polymer, 0-15% by weight of a plasticizer and 70-93% by weight of an inorganic composition. The inorganic composition is formed from at least two elements as defined, or compounds thereof, which attenuate a range of energy. The materials provide superior protection against radiation than lead, in the degree of protection and/or the weight of the material required to provide the protection. The material may be used, in particular, for protection against x-rays, especially in the form of apparel e.g for operators of x-ray equipment. |
