Synopsis: Materials: Classes of materials: Metals: Metal foam:

#Metal foams could provide lightweight radiation shielding Radiation generally comes under the heading of"things you want to stay away from,

"We are working to modify the composition of the metal foam to be even more effective than lead at blocking X-rays

In addition, the extraordinary mechanical and thermal properties of composite metal foams, and their energy absorption capabilities, make the material a good candidate for various nuclear structural applications. n

#Metal foams capable of shielding X-rays, gamma rays, neutron radiation Research shows lightweight composite metal foams are effective at blocking X-rays, gamma rays and neutron radiation,

The finding means metal foams hold promise for use in nuclear safety, space exploration and medical technology applications."

"This work means there's an opportunity to use composite metal foam to develop safer systems for transporting nuclear waste, more efficient designs for spacecraft and nuclear structures,

Rabiei first developed the strong, lightweight metal foam for use in transportation and military applications. But she wanted to determine

The most effective composite metal foam against all three forms of radiation is called"high-Z steel-steel

so that the composite foam that included tungsten was not denser than metal foam made entirely of stainless steel.

"However, we are working to modify the composition of the metal foam to be even more effective than lead at blocking X-rays

In addition, the extraordinary mechanical and thermal properties of composite metal foams, and their energy absorption capabilities, make the material a good candidate for various nuclear structural applications

#Metal foam provides lightweight radiation shielding Nuclear, space exploration and medical applications abound for low-density, nontoxic structural shielding materials Lightweight composite metal foams can absorb energy from impacts

and block X-rays, gamma rays and neutron radiation, according to a study from North carolina State university. The discovery means the materials could be useful in spacecraft, the nuclear industry and in medicine.

we are working to modify the composition of the metal foam to be even more effective than lead at blocking X-rays
