Bentonite based ceramic materials from a perspective of gamma-ray shielding: Preparation, characterization and performance evaluation

Exposure to gamma-rays is hazardous for humans and other living beings because of their high penetration through the materials. For this reason, shielding materials (usually lead, copper and stainless steel) are used to protect against gamma rays. This study’s objective was to prepare ceramic materi...
