The Theoretical Investigation of Chitin Doped Concretes for Gamma-ray Shielding Properties

Various composites containing glucose are widely used in cement production. Glucose-containing materials the production of various types cements due to their advantageous properties such as being light, economical and easily accessible. In this study, radiation shielding parameters C8H13O5N (chitin) mixture with Pb doped at percentages (5, 10, 20%) linear attenuation coefficients (LAC), mass (MAC), half value layers (HVL), tenth (TVL), mean free path (MFP), effective atomic number (Zeff), electron density (Neff) conductivity energy (Ceff) have been investigated by using Phy-X software between 1 keV 40 MeV range, theoretically. It has seen that results obtained gamma-ray also compatible literature.
