The composite discs were produced from mixing polymer and different percentage tungsten carbide (50, 60, and 70 %). Compared with lead in same conditions the new material is more lightweight and flexible. Moreover the material’s shielding efficiency is higher than lead also. © 2015, Akadémiai Kiadó, Budapest, Hungary.en10.1007/s10967-015-4051-3info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessGamma radiationLead-freePolymerShieldingTungsten carbideArticle3052529534Q2
