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

Аннотация

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.
