US launches anti-radiation modified PE and PVC materials

The Institute of Radiation Shielding Technology in the Miami area of ​​the US claimed that they have developed a new technology for modified polyethylene (PE) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). The modified polyethylene and polyvinyl chloride have anti-nuclear properties. Radiation capacity can be used as a nuclear radiation shielding material. This polymer liner is treated with a special process (without revealing details) so that it has an electron resonance effect that can effectively absorb radiation. The polymer liner and a natural or synthetic nonwoven fabric produce a fabric that is then used to make a safety garment that can resist radiation. The weight of this clothing is only one-fifth that of traditional lead clothing. The trademark of this fabric is Demron, its radiation resistance is on the existing protective clothing. This material has been independently tested including Columbia University and the Georgia Institute of Technology. Demron products can be used for both military and civilian applications. They can be used to produce protective clothing, tents, and aircraft linings.
The researchers said that the polymer lining can be modified to make its electronic layer similar to the electronic layer of heavy metals and can absorb nuclear radiation. This material was originally developed for the purpose of anti-X-rays for medical personnel, but as people's interest in nuclear terror also widened the new use of the material. The Institute of Radiation Shielding Research believes that garments made of this material will soon replace existing nuclear radiation shielding garments.
