About the Book

Micro- and Nanostructured Composite Materials for Neutron Shielding Applications presents recent developments and future possibilities for neutron shielding materials. Emphasis is placed on the correlation between the morphology, shielding mechanisms, and other desired properties, including their mechanical and thermal properties. The effect of neutron absorbing fillers, including their size on final properties is also examined, as are recent advancements in preparation, characterization and simulation techniques. Written by specialists in their respective fields, this comprehensive resource will help professionals and students understand the fundamentals of neutron shielding, as well as the properties of micro- and nanopolymer-based composites, concrete materials, alloy materials and metal-ceramic composites.

Table of Contents:
1. Introduction to neutron shielding 2. Review on neutron absorbing fillers 3. Thermoplastic micro- and nanocomposites for neutron shielding 4. Thermosetting micro- and nanocomposites for neutron shielding 5. Elastomeric micro- and nano composites for neutron shielding 6. Metal and alloy composites for neutron shielding 7. Shielding concrete with neutron attenuating and absorbing components 8. Neutron shielding concrete in medical applications 9. Advancements in shielding materials for spent fuel storage 10. Neutron radiation shielding composites for deep space exploration: An introduction 11. Functional characterization of neutron-shielding materials 12. Advanced multilayer composite structures for fast neutron detection and shielding protection applications 13. Neutron spectroscopy techniques 14. Advancements in computational methods for neutron shielding 15. Effect of spent nuclear fuel neutron aging on dry cask shielding material
