Abstract
Ionizing radiation like x-rays and gamma radiation have many applications in fields like medical diagnosis, cancer treatment, and radiation treatment of food (preservation). There-fore, shielding is necessary to protect users of such facilities from ionizing radiation, where exposure to ionizing radiation will cause a deterioration in the health of the user, depending on the absorbed radiation dose. Hence, using polymeric composites with different compositions as radiation shielding material is a cur-rent research interest. Furthermore, these polymeric materials can be dopped with high Z (atomic number) fillers for ionizing radiation shielding applications because of their unique proper-ties; they are lightweight, cost-effective, mechanical, and less toxic. This paper will investigate the recent developments and methods in preparing polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP/Pb) fibrous membranes as radiation shielding materials using the electro-spinning technique to produce a protective fabric sheet. These fabric sheets can enhance the protection efficiency of protective users' suits. It has been found that a PVP/Pb nanofiber sheet of 0.3 cm thickness can approximately reduce the initial intensity (Io) of 25 keV X-rays by 60 %.
