Build-up shielding-factors, and physical & mechanical properties of borosilicate glasses with varied CeO 2 contents

Key Points

• The aim is to evaluate the shielding performance and physical properties of borosilicate glasses containing varying amounts of cerium dioxide.
• Incorporated different CeO2 contents into borosilicate glass compositions.
• Assessed gamma-ray shielding performance through experimental measurements.
• Analyzed physical and mechanical properties of the modified glasses.
• Demonstrated a marked improvement in gamma-ray shielding with increased CeO2 content.
• Observed enhanced physical and mechanical properties correlated with cerium dioxide integration.
