Background: Cosmic ray-induced particles can lead to failure of semiconductors packaged for export during air transport. This work performed MCNP 6.2 simulations to optimize shielding against neutrons and protons induced by cosmic radiation Methods and materials: The energy spectra of protons and neutrons by incident angle at the flight altitude were determined using atmospheric cuboid model. Various candidates for the shielding materials and the geometry of the Unit Load Device Container were evaluated to determine the conditions that allow optimal shielding at all sides of the container. Results: It was found that neutrons and protons, at the flight altitude, generally travel with a downward trajectory especially for the particles with high energy. This indicated that the largest number of particles struck the top of the container. Furthermore, the simulation results showed that, among the materials tested, borated polyethylene and stainless steel were the most optimal shielding materials. The optimal shielding structure was also determined with the weight limit of the container in consideration. Conclusions: Under the determined optimal shielding conditions, a significantly reduced number of neutrons and protons reach the contents inside the container, which ultimately reduces the possibility of semiconductor failure during air transport.

Power cable of an AC arc welder can surround a body of worker at the moment of welding. Applying the boundary element method, we calculated current densities induced in organs inside a worker to study the magnetic field reduction characteristics of shielding wear materials. We knew shielding wear with high permeability materials lowers current density more than high conductivity materials. We also found current density was lowest when high permeability materials were inside high conductivity materials in double layer shielding wear.

Exposure to gamma-rays is hazardous for humans and other living beings because of their high penetration through the materials. For this reason, shielding materials (usually lead, copper and stainless steel) are used to protect against gamma rays. This study's objective was to prepare ceramic materials for gamma radiation shielding by using different natural bentonite clays. Gamma-ray attenuation performances of the prepared shielding materials at different thicknesses were investigated and evaluated for different gamma-ray energies from different standard point gamma radiation sources (²⁵¹Am, ⁵⁷Co, ¹³⁷Cs, ⁶⁰Co, and ⁸⁸Y). The mass and linear attenuation coefficients of the prepared ceramics vary between 0.238 and 0.443 cm² g^-1 and between 0.479 and 1.06 cm^-1, respectively, depending on their thicknesses. Results showed that these materials could be prioritized because of their evidential properties of gamma radiation protection in radiation applications.

The research on electromagnetic shielding has been advanced for military applications as well as for commercial products. Utilizing the reflective properties and absorptive properties of shielding material, the replied signal measured at the rear surface or at the signal source can be minimized. The shielding effect was obtained from materials having special absorptive properties or from structural characteristics such as stacking sequence. Recently researchers studied the electromagnetic properties of nano size particles. In this research {glass fiber}/{epoxy}/{nano particle} composites(GFR-Nano composites), was fabricated using various nano particles, and their properties in electromagnetic shielding were compared. For the visual observation of the nano composite materials, SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope) and TEM(Transmission Electron Microscope) were used. For the measurement of electromagnetic shielding, HP8719ES S-parameter Vector Network Analyser System was used on the frequency range of 8 GHz～12GHz. Among the nano particles, carbon black and Multi-Walled Carbon Nano-Tube (MWCNT) revealed outstanding electromagnetic shielding. Although silver nano particles (flake and powder) were expected to have effective electromagnetic shielding due to their excellent electric conductivities, test showed little shielding effect.

The increased awareness of electromagnetic wave hazards has prompted studies on electromagnetic shielding using conductive materials in the construction industry. Previous studies have explored the effects of the types of conductive materials and their mix proportions on the electromagnetic shielding performance; however, there has been insufficient research on the effect of the geometry of the conductive materials on the electromagnetic shielding performance. Therefore, in this study, the dependence of the electromagnetic shielding performance on the cross-sectional geometry, diameter and length of fibers was investigated. The results showed that the electromagnetic shielding performance improved when the fiber length increased or the diameter decreased, but the effect of the cross-sectional geometry of the fibers was smaller than the effect of the fiber spacing factor.

In this paper, shielding effectiveness(SE) of the shielding material of electromagnetic(EM) waves was investigated with actual experiments. The materials used in this study were made up of sputtering, film and powder of conductive materials - Cr, Al, Ag and Cu etc. Also, the polyester film was used as a base material. The experiment was carried out by using a shielding evaluator(Shielding box) TR17302 with an ADVANTEST spectrum analyzer, model R3361C. It was found from the experimental results that silver, copper, aluminum and chromium were good candidates as a shielding material against the EM waves with increasing the SE as the composite was laminated. The characteristics of the SE against the EM waves depended on a mode of preparation of specimen. The effects of density of particles on the SE were studied when the sputtering. The SE strongly depended on the electric resistance by density of sputtering and painting particles. SE increased as the density of particles was increasing.

CT는 인체 내 장기의 해부학적 구조를 정확하게 나타낼 수 있으며, 영상의 분해능이 우수하다. Brain CT 검사 시 수정체의 방사선 감수성이 높아서 피폭의 영향을 많이 받는다. 본 연구는 수정체에 피폭선량을 감소하기 위해 비스무스와 텅스텐 필라멘트 차폐물질을 사용하여 Non-shield와 Shield에 대한 피폭선량의 변화와 차폐율을 비교 하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 3D printing으로 제작한 비스무스, 텅스텐 필라멘트 차폐물질을 사용하여, 차폐물질 두께와 slice에 따라 피폭되는 선량을 측정하였다. 헤드팬텀을 고정시켜 안구에 Magicmax universal 선량계를 위치시켜 차폐 물질을 놓지 않았을 경우와 그 위에 차폐 물질을 놓았을 때 차폐율을 각각 비교하기 위해 두 물질을 1mm ~ 5mm 두께로 각각 측정하였다. 1 mm 두께의 필라멘트에서 비스무스 필라멘트는 26.8 %, 텅스텐 필라멘트는 43.1 % 차폐율이 나타났다. 따라서 비스무스 필라멘트보다 텅스텐 필라멘트에서 더 큰 차폐효과가 나타났다. 차폐체의 종류, 두께, 슬라이스 간격에 따라 선량을 측정한 결과, 비스무스 필라멘트 보다 텅스텐 필라멘트가 더 큰 차폐효과가 나타났다.

건축물의 외벽 등에서 전자파를 차단하게 되면 건축물 안의 전자기장의 강도를 효과적으로 감소하게 되어 전자파 장해의 감쇠를 가져오므로 이에 대한 기술 개발에 관심이 크다. 본 연구에서는 반도체 분야에서 발생되는 SiC 부산물과 흑연을 선정하였고 분쇄 등 전처리 후 모르타르에 혼입하여 물성 및 전자파 차폐 성능을 평가하였다. 각 차폐 소재의 경제성을 고려하여 실험체 최외측 10% 부피만 각각의 차폐 소재를 혼입하여 차폐 성능을 평가하였고 차폐 효과 평가식을 활용하여 실험체 전체 부피에 차폐 소재를 혼입한 실험체를 제작할 경우 차폐 성능을 예측하였다. 실험 결과, SiC 알갱이 형태의 차폐 소재 혼입 시차폐 성능은 최대 20dB, 흑연 분말을 차폐 소재로 혼입 시 차폐 성능은 최대 18dB, SiC 분말을 차폐 소재로 혼입 시 차폐 성능은 최대 28dB로 예측 되었고 99.9%의 차폐율을 갖는 것으로 알려진 30dB에 근접한 우수한 차폐 성능을 가지는 것을 확인하였다.
