China Science and Technology City has developed a "new uniform" for radiation protection, and said goodbye to the "lead suit" for CT

author:Good Chinese article

Starting from the "new" to the "new", we are looking for new quality productivity. Recently, there was good news about the transformation and industrialization of the innovation achievements of Maike Nuclear Shield, an enterprise in Youxian District, Mianyang City, Sichuan Province. The high-temperature neutron shielding and absorbing materials they produce will put on the "armor" of the Lianjiang Nuclear Power Plant in Guangdong Province and build a nuclear safety barrier. Not only that, in the fields of radiation medicine and nuclear medicine, Maike nuclear shield also has radiation protection "armor" on the shelves!

According to reports, friends who have done CT or interventional surgery know that patients and doctors need to wear lead clothing to effectively block radiation, but it is very bulky, and the biological toxicity of lead is not friendly to the environment. The emergence of radiation protection "armor" can be done in one step, while achieving lead-free, it can also cope with the radiation generated by different rays such as α, β, γ, neutrons, and X. The reason why the radiation protection "armor" is so powerful is inseparable from a special protective material.

The staff introduces the "new uniform" of radiation protection

Yang Xuemei, deputy general manager of Sichuan Maike Hedun New Material Technology Co., Ltd., introduced that the protective clothing produced by the company contains flexible lead-free polymer, which can reduce the weight by 30% on the basis of traditional radiation protective clothing and control it within 6 kilograms, thereby greatly reducing the physical burden on the wearer. This set of radiation protection "suits" with completely independent intellectual property rights, which can integrate neutron, γ and X-ray resistance at the same time, and can withstand high temperatures of up to 200 °C, will officially enter the market in the second half of this year. High performance, lead-free, eco-friendly, lightweight...... The development of radiation shielding materials is constantly escalating, and the "heavy lead coat" may soon have to say "goodbye" to us, and such materials will also "show their talents" in many fields such as fire rescue, customs, national defense, and nuclear industry.

It is understood that in recent years, Youxian has explored a new model of industrial empowerment, focusing on advanced composite materials, silicon-based new materials, high-end alloys and other subdivisions, focusing on forging long boards, making up for shortcomings, promoting advantages, and continuing to consolidate advanced polymer membrane materials and other advantageous fields, refining and strengthening advanced basic materials industries such as new insulation materials, environmental protection functional materials, high-purity crystalline silicon, and high-strength titanium alloys, and accelerating the promotion of extreme materials, intelligent bionic materials, R&D and industrialization in the fields of polarizer protective film and MLCC release film base film, focusing on building a modern industrial system for advanced materials and promoting the high-quality development of the advanced materials industry. Through high-end chain supplementation and terminal strengthening chain, Youxian District strives to improve the development level of the industrial chain, focusing on leading and backbone enterprises such as Dongcai Technology, attracting a large number of leading enterprises in the advanced materials industry to settle down, and 6 advanced materials (cutting-edge new materials) projects such as Zhongjing New Materials Silicon Carbide Semiconductor Project are being negotiated and signed. According to the data, in 2022, the scale of the advanced materials industry in Youxian District will be 12.2 billion yuan, with a good industrial foundation, obvious advantages in subdivided fields, and huge development potential. Relying on the Chinese Academy of Materials, 58 institutes and other large institutes, Youxian encourages enterprises to build technology research and development and achievement transformation platforms in the fields of advanced polymer membrane materials, photovoltaic materials and other fields, at present, the production process and core equipment of polymerization new material products have been authorized 8 utility model patents, 2 invention patents, and the cumulative invention patents of advanced materials (cutting-edge new materials) enterprises in the region have reached more than 280.
