Abstract
The article deals with the problems of creating composite materials for neutron shielding. A method for creating a composite material is proposed and described based on polyethylene and B4C boron carbide. For the first time, the possibility of synthesizing composites of the proposed composition using cryogenic grinding under low-temperature processing conditions was established in this article. The main physical-mechanical, thermal and neutron-protective properties of the composite material were studied depending on the content of B4C. A composite containing 30% boron carbide synthesized using cryogenic grinding has the following mechanical characteristics: flexural strength - 5.96 MPa, flexural strain at flexural strength 8.56 %, Vickers microhardness, 7.7 ± 0.8 HV200.
期刊介绍：
Progress in Nuclear Energy is an international review journal covering all aspects of nuclear science and engineering. In keeping with the maturity of nuclear power, articles on safety, siting and environmental problems are encouraged, as are those associated with economics and fuel management. However, basic physics and engineering will remain an important aspect of the editorial policy. Articles published are either of a review nature or present new material in more depth. They are aimed at researchers and technically-oriented managers working in the nuclear energy field.
Please note the following:
1) PNE seeks high quality research papers which are medium to long in length. Short research papers should be submitted to the journal Annals in Nuclear Energy.
2) PNE reserves the right to reject papers which are based solely on routine application of computer codes used to produce reactor designs or explain existing reactor phenomena. Such papers, although worthy, are best left as laboratory reports whereas Progress in Nuclear Energy seeks papers of originality, which are archival in nature, in the fields of mathematical and experimental nuclear technology, including fission, fusion (blanket physics, radiation damage), safety, materials aspects, economics, etc.
3) Review papers, which may occasionally be invited, are particularly sought by the journal in these fields.
