Abstract

This work presents synthesization and characterization of polyester resin doped with lead acetate (Pb (CH3COO)2) as an alternative material for radiation protection in radiography. Five samples were synthesized with various lead concentration which are 0%, 3.5%, 3.75%, 4% and 4.5%. The samples were characterized using X-ray, He-Ne laser, and FTIR. The results showed that as lead concentration was increased, optical density increased while X-ray transmission decreased. It were found that the attenuation coefficients for each samples were 0.132 cm-1 , 0.435 cm-1 , 0.543 cm-1 , 0.691 cm-1 , and 1.156 cm-1 . In terms of transmission and attenuation coefficient, lead-polyester composite with lead concentration of 3.5% has an optimum performance.
