Abstract

The current research report aimed the use of a bioactive glass systems of the chemical composition (80-x)SiO2–15CaO–5P2O5–xB2O3; 0 (MBG) ≤ x ≤ 15 (15.0B-MBG) mol% as radiation protection candidate for γ-rays. The density (ρ) of the investigated glasses reduced slightly from 2.6785 to 2.6637 g/cm3 and the molar volume (Vm) increased from 23.7353 to 24.4042 cm3/mol. The mass attenuation coefficient (MAC) for photon energies ranging from 15 keV to 100 keV using the XCOM code and Phys-X software was estimated. The highest discrepancy among the MAC values calculated by XCOM and Phys-X was found less than 2.5% at 15.0 keV and 5% at 100 keV. In terms of the effective-atomic-number (Zeff), it found that the sample encoded as MBG had the uppermost Zeff. In general, the analysis showed that the selected MBG-15.0B-MBG glasses provide adequate protection against low-energy photons (i.e., E < 30 keV), but their shielding ability decreases at high energies (60 < E < 100 keV). In addition, the various elastic-mechanical intrinsic of samples were calculated, including the total dissociation energy (G), which decreased from 65.425 to 57.565 kJ/cm3 as the B2O3 content increased from 0.0 to 15.0 mol%. The Poisson’s ratio (σ) improved from 0.41253 to 0.41603 and Young’s modulus reduced from 79.110 to 72.510 GPa. Results shows a significantly impact of B2O3 insertion into the investigated glasses network.
