RADIATION PROTECTION MATERIAL

摘要

The invention relates to a lead-free radiation protection material which is made of elastomer or a plastomer as matrix material wherein elements having an atomic number greater than 50 or compounds thereof are incorporated as radiation-absorbing materials. The aim of the invention is to improve said radiation protection material in such a manner that safe radiation absorption can be achieved and that it can be produced in an economical manner and that it is simple to process. As a result, the radiation-absorbing materials are made of a combination of antimony and bismuth. Said materials can also be made of tungsten and/or elements from the rare earth group.
