Abstract
This study measured and compared the protective clothing using Pb used for shielding in a diagnostic X-ray energy range, and the shielding rates of X-ray fusion shielding materials using Si and $TiO_2$. For the experiment, a pad type shielding with a thickness of 1 mm was prepared by mixing $Si-TiO_2$, and the X-ray shielding rate was compared with 0.5 mmPb plate of The shielding rate of shielding of 0.5 mmPb plate 95.92%, 85.26 % based on the case of no shielding under each 60 kVp, 100 kVp tube voltage condition. When the shielding of $Si-TiO_2$ pad was applied, the shielding rate equal to or greater than 0.5 mmPb plate was obtained at a thickness of 11 mm or more, and the shielding rate of 100% or more was confirmed at a thickness of 13 mm in 60 kVp condition. When the shielding of $Si-TiO_2$ pad was applied, the shielding rate equal to or greater than 0.5 mmPb plate was obtained at a thickness of 17 mm or more, and a shielding rate of 0.5 mmPb plate was observed at a thickness of 23 mm in 100 kVp condition. Through the results of this study, We could confirm the possibility of manufacturing radiation protective materials that does not contain lead hazard using various metalic compound and liquid Si. This study shows that possibility of liquid Si and other metalic compound can harmonize easily. Beside, It is flexible and strong to physical stress than Pb obtained radiation protective closthes. But additional studies are needed to increase the shielding rate and reduce the weight.
