Development of resin-based Radiation shielding material

To develop a polymer which could be used for shielding against radiation attacks in space.

Considering the ambient in the space, the frequency of radiation is very high. Hence, this polymer is developed, which could prevent microcracks prevent material from early failure and increase lifetime. The purpose of encapsulation is to protect the components from adverse environments, thermal shock, and temperature cycles during actual life applications, improve handling in downstream assembly processes; prevent mobile ion contaminations; and increase the long-term reliability of parts with a reasonable cost.
