Various high-energy rays such as microwaves, X-rays, ultraviolet rays, neutron rays, etc. pose significant harm to the human body. Therefore, in recent years, many radiation resistant fibers and textiles have been developed. The main varieties, characteristics, and uses of radiation resistant fibers.
The main varieties, characteristics, and uses of radiation resistant fibers
| Main varieties | Characteristic | Use to |
| UV resistant fiber | Has high UV blocking performance, with a blocking rate of over 95%, and also has washing resistance and good hand feel | Produce UV resistant clothing, especially suitable for summer clothing and high-altitude clothing, as well as window fabrics, umbrellas, swimsuits, etc |
| Anti X-ray fiber | It has a good X-ray shielding effect, which can reduce its damage to human gonads, mammary glands, and bone marrow, and reduce the occurrence of leukemia and myeloma | Make X-ray protective clothing |
| Anti microwave radiation fiber | It has good radiation protection performance and is lightweight, flexible, and has high strength. It also has reflective properties for electric, magnetic, and infrared waves | Can be used as microwave protective clothing, microwave shielding materials, processed textiles can be used as shielding for atomic reactors, and can also be used for protection in hospital radiation therapy |
| Neutron radiation resistant fiber | Lithium or boron compounds in fibers have good neutron radiation protection effects, with a shielding rate of over 44% |
