Dielectric and simulated radiation shielding properties of cross-linked PMMA/ZrO2 and PMMA/CeO2 nanocomposites

than pristine C-PMMA, while the corresponding half-value layer at 8 MeV decreased by approximately 39%. The fabricated composites could be used as promising materials for components such as housings, encapsulation layers, and support structures in electronic modules that operate close to radiation sources, where moderate radiation shielding, electrical insulation, and decreased weight are all needed at the same time. However, further verification of mechanical dependability and experimentally determined shielding efficacy will determine their ultimate usefulness.
