 The incorporation of NanoArc® Bismuth Oxide nanoparticles into surface coatings, polymer composites, and textiles can provide protection from harmful x-ray radiation without significantly impacting mechanical properties.
This type of protection has remained a long-standing challenge since the use of conventional-sized fillers for x-ray attenuation may significantly degrade the mechanical integrity of polymers. NanoArc® Bismuth Oxide can also provide enhanced opacity for in-vivo polymeric medical devices.
