Structural, thermal characteristics, and radiation shielding properties of FeWO4 nanoparticles doped PVB films

Key Points

• Enhanced radiation shielding observed with FeWO4 nanoparticles in PVB films, achieving significant protection levels.
• Specific values showed up to 88% radiation attenuation using only a 1 mm thick PVB film doped with FeWO4.
• Characterization included thermal and structural assessments of the FeWO4 nanoparticles to confirm their properties before doping.
• Application highlights the potential for development in radiation safety fields, but further testing may be needed.
