Views on Radiation Shielding Efficiency of Polymeric Composites/Nanocomposites and Multi-Layered Materials: Current State and Advancements

This article highlights advancements in polymeric composite/nanocomposites processes and applications for improved radiation shielding high-rate attenuation the spacecraft. Energetic particles, mostly electrons protons, can annihilate or cause space craft hardware failures. The standard practice electronics is utilization of aluminum as safeguard structural enclosure. In space, materials must be lightweight capable withstanding extreme temperature/mechanical loads under harsh environments, so research has focused on advanced multi-functional materials. this regard, low-Z have been found effective particle radiation, but their properties were not sufficient desired applications. As a solution, composites nanocomposites produced having enhanced material enough (gamma, cosmic, X-rays, neutrons, etc.) along with reduced weight. Advantageously, layered to form multi-layered shields. Hence, polymer composites/nanocomposites offer promising alternatives developing efficiently attenuating photon radiation. latest technology developments micro/nano reinforced also surveyed here crafts aerospace structures. Moreover, motive behind state-of-the-art overview put forward recommendations high performance design/applications towards future
