Development of (polyvinyl alcohol/O-carboxymethyl chitosan/PbO) nanocomposites for efficient gamma radiation protection

Abstract A polymeric blend based on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) / carboxymethyl chitosan was developed for gamma radiation shielding applications. The nanocomposite films were fabricated using a simple solution casting method, where the readily available nanosized lead oxide PbO part...
