Material based on vinylester resin for neutron shielding and maintenance of sub-criticality

摘要

This invention relates to a composite material for neutron shielding and maintenance of sub-criticality comprising a matrix based on vinylester resin and an inorganic filler capable of slowing and absorbing neutrons. The vinylester resin may be an epoxymethacrylate resin and the inorganic filler may contain a zinc borate and an alumina hydrate or magnesium hydroxide.
