Abstract
The conventional radiation barriers may show some disadvantages such as heavy weight and possibility of poisoning human bodies because they are composed of lead plates or resin plates containing large amounts of lead powders. Another disadvantage may be direct penetration of radiation through small pin holes. In this article, technologies of multi-layered polymer barriers against radiation, which has been extensively focused recently, will be introduced. A new concept of radiation protection as well as improving endurance with employing nano-layered inorganic particles is introduced.
