Abstract

The results of comprehensive studies of radiation shielding properties and the structure of elastic self-adhesive coverings are presented. It was found that there was no change in the linear absorption coefficient of radiation, structural damage is minor at irradiation doses which are significantly higher than standard (105 Gy).

Keywords: radiation shielding elastic self-adhesive coverings, linear absorption coefficient, radiation resistance, microstructure, EPDM
