Abstrakt: The radiation shielding simulation model of coated fabric (flexible composite) was established for the first time by Super MC nuclear simulation software to help solve the problems of small volume, complex structure, and difficult design of flexible shielding materials, and the c-ray shielding performance was calculated. Bismuth/polyurethane coated fabric was prepared by a coating method, and its scanning electron microscope, γ-ray shielding performance and mechanical properties were tested. The results show that the simulation accuracy was improved due to the one-to-one correspondence between the structural parameters and performance parameters of the simulation model and the actual samples. The simulation value was in good agreement with the measured value. The shielding performance and mechanical properties of fabric composites were improved after coating. Increasing the content of bismuth and coating thickness can improve the shielding performance of the coated fabric. However, when the content of bismuth was too large, or the coating was too thick, the mechanical properties were relatively decreased. The deposition of ray energy in the material was analyzed by the visual analysis method, and the influence mechanism of process parameters on shielding performance was further revealed, which provided a new theoretical reference for the design of flexible shielding materials. A shielding material design and performance prediction method based on Super MC is proposed, which can be used for personalized customization design and performance prediction and evaluation before use. It has practical guiding significance for producing and manufacturing flexible fabric shielding materials for protective clothing and equipment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
