In this study, the authors attempted to produce a medical radiation shielding fiber that can be produced at a nanosize scale and that is, unlike lead, harmless to the human body. The performance of the proposed medical radiation shielding fiber was then evaluated. First, diamagnetic bismuth oxide, an element which, among elements that have a high atomic number and density, is harmless to the human body, was selected as the shielding material. Next, 10-100 nm sized nanoparticles in powder form were prepared by ball milling the bismuth oxide ($Bi_2O_3$), the average particle size of which is $1-500{\mu}m$, for approximately 10 minutes. The manufactured bismuth oxide was formed into a colloidal solution, and the radiation shielding fabric was fabricated by curing after coating the solution on one side or both sides of the fabric. The thicknesses of the shielding sheets prepared with bismuth oxide were 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, and 1.0 mm. An experimental method was used to measure the absorbed dose and irradiation dose by using the lead equivalent test method of X-ray protection goods presented by Korean Industrial Standards; the resultant shielding rate was then calculated. From the results of this study, the X-ray shielding effect of the shielding sheet with 0.1 mm thickness was about 55.37% against 50 keV X-ray, and the X-ray shielding effect in the case of 1.0 mm thickness showed shielding characteristics of about 99.36% against 50 keV X-ray. In conclusion, it is considered that nanosized-bismuth radiation shielding fiber developed in this research will contribute to reducing the effects of primary X-ray and secondary X-ray such as when using a scattering beam at a low level exposure.

Nanosize의 YIG 분말을 자기광학효과에 뛰어난 첨가제인 Cerium을 첨가하여 에틸렌 글리콜 용매로서 졸-겔법을 이용하여 합성하였다. 점도와 pH가 일정한 값을 유지하고, aging시간에 따라 점도변화가 없는 120분에서 150분사이의 반응시간에서 가장 안정한 상태의 용액을 얻을 수 있었다. 건조시킨 YIG 분말로서 DTA 및 XRD 측정결과 80$0^{\circ}C$에서 단일상의 YIG를 합성할 수 있었고, Cerium 첨가량 증가에 따라 12면체 Y 이온 자리로의 치환에 의해 격자상수가 12.3921에서 12.4130$\AA$까지 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 80$0^{\circ}C$에서 105$0^{\circ}C$까지 열처리 온도 증가에 따라 평균입자크기는 40nm~330nm정도를 보였고, 포화자화값(M$_{s}$)은 YIG 결정성 증대 및 미량의 orthoferrite의 감소에 의해 18.37~21.25emu/g으로 증가하였으며, 보자력(H$_{c}$)은 80$0^{\circ}C$부터 90$0^{\circ}C$ 사이에서는 증가하다가, 그 이상 온도에서는 감소하는 경향을 보였다. Ce 첨가량이 증가함에 따른 보자력값은 큰 변화가 없었으며, 포화자화값은 0.1 mol%일 때 가장 큰 값을 지녔고, 이후 미량의 orhtoferrite 증가로 인해 감소하는 경향을 보였으나, 큐리 온도(T$_{c}$)에는 영향을 미치지 않았다.않았다.
