Application and Characteristics of Conducting Polymer as Radiation Shielding Material

Abstract
Conducting polymers with high electrical conductivity like doped polypyrrole are used successfully as radiation shielding meterials. They are especially effective to shield an electric field with an attenuation higher than 30 dB in the range of 3 MHz–300 MHz with doped polypyrrole of 35 µ thickness, bu not effective for shielding a magnetic field with attenuation less than 10 dB in the same range.
