Development of Textile Materials for Protection from Microwave Radiation Using Bismuth Nanoparticles

摘要

The synthesis of nanoparticles of bismuth was performed, which consisted of chemical reduction from Bi(NO3)(3) solution. Optimal parameters for the reduction of bismuth to zero valence metal state, and its application to the fabric were developed. The modified fabric subjected to microwave radiation yields a decrease in the radiation dose. The material can be used in radioprotective clothing with enhanced partial protection, which includes overalls, helmet, gloves, and shoe covers made from radio-reflective materials.
