    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2020) Sayyed, M., I; Abdalsalam, Alyaa H.; Taki, Malaa M.; Mhareb, M. H. A.; Alim, Bunyamin; Baltakesmez, Ali; Sakar, Erdem
    Structural, Morphological and neutron attenuation properties of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) reinforced with molybdenum trioxide composite material obtained by solid state mixing of pellets and powder components via hot pressing have been studied. In this work, Ultra high molecular weight poly-ethylene and MoO3 has been utilized with different concentration using a hot compression iron mold. The changes in the microstructure of the prepared polymer and its particulate composites were evaluated by SEM. In order to investigate the quantitative of all elements used in these samples, we utilized Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) to present the profiles of synthesized samples which show a clear peaks C (carbon), and Mo (Molybdenum). The X-ray diffraction of all samples was examined to study the modification of the phase and lattice for UHMWPE before and after the addition of molybdenum trioxide (MoO3). Raman analysis was utilized to explore the crystallinity, molecular interactions, phase, polymorphy, and chemical structure. This technique is based on non-destructive interaction between light with the chemical bonds inside a material. The Raman spectrum for the current work presented within the range of 150-1600 cm(-1). In order to understand the neutron shielding performance for the fabricated UHMWPE with different concentrations of MoO3, 241 Am/Be fast neutron source was used to determine the fast neutron radiation equivalent dose rate. The background absorbed dose rate was measured as 0.98 (+/- 0.017) (mu Sv/h). It was seen that the addition of MoO3 into the UHMWPE enhances the neutron shielding. The dose released from the source was absorbed by 7.71 ( +/- 1.3) %, 18.48 (+/- 2.9) %, 22.26 (+/- 2.4) %, 24.07 (+/- 1.8) % and 26.17 (+/- 1.3) % from UHMWPE with 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5% of MoO3 respectively. Additionally, GEANT4 10.02. p01 version was used to calculate total macroscopic crosssections (TMCS) for the MoO3 doped UHMWPE. According to the results obtained from GEANT4, it was observed that the TMCS values of the UHMWPE increase with increment of the mole fraction of the MoO3 in the structure of UHMWPE examined and that the 5.0% MoO3 sample has the best neutron shielding ability.

    A study of gamma attenuation property of UHMWPE/Bi2O3 nanocomposites
    (Elsevier, 2019) Abdalsalam, Alyaa H.; Sayyed, M., I; Hussein, Thulfiqar Ali; Sakar, Erdem; Mhareb, M. H. A.; Sakar, Betul Ceviz; Alim, Bunyamin
    In this study, nanocomposite material made of ultra-high molecular weight and bismuth oxide was developed to be used for protection from nuclear radiation. The traditional hot-pressing technique was used for preparing composite samples. The concentrations of Bi2O3 were selected to be 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 wt%. In order to study the changes in surface morphology, we examined all samples by scanning electron microscopic (SEM). We evaluated the semi-quantitative of all elements used to fabricate these samples using EDX. Additionally, all samples including pure Bi2O3 has been examined with X-ray diffraction (XRD). Besides that, Raman spectroscopy of all synthesized polymer matrix was measured to explore the different molecular groups. Also, the photon attenuation ability for the present samples was measured experimentally at eight energies varying from 30.8 keV to 383.9 keV using Ba-133 radioactive point source.

    Theoretical and experimental validation gamma shielding properties of B2O3-ZnO-MgO-Bi2O3 glass system
    (Elsevier Science Sa, 2020) Kaky, Kawa M.; Sayyed, M. I.; Khammas, Abbas; Kumar, Ashok; Sakar, Erdem; Abdalsalam, Alyaa H.; Sakar, Betul Ceviz
    In the present work, we fabricated a series of six glasses to be utilized in the field of radiation shielding application. Glasses have been synthesized using a melt-quenching ordinary technique. In this work, we investigated the structural properties of these glasses using Raman spectroscopy. Moreover, optical properties have been studied in the present work. The radiation attenuation ability for the present samples was also investigated and measured using transmission geometry between 81 and 964.1 keV. The mass attenuation coefficient was measured and the results were validated by the WinXcom program. Also, radiation protection efficiency (RPE) was evaluated and discussed in terms of photon energy and Bi2O3 concentration. From RPE curve, we found that the fabricated glasses can be used as effective shielding materials especially for the low energies (81-383 keV). The half value layer also was calculated and the results of this parameter showed that S6 (contains 60 mol% of Bi2O3) has the higher probability of the interaction with gamma photons, leading to less number of photons transmitted this sample and thus better photon attenuator.
