| Abstract | ||
| This study has examined the impacts of adding various cobalt oxide (CoO) to the mechanical and radiation shielding properties of the B2O3-Na2O-ZnO glass system. A glass system 62B2O3 + 18Na2O + (20-x) ZnO + (x) CoO, where x = 0, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 mol%, was prepared by the melt-quenching process. The study has examined various elastic parameters, including Young's modulus, shear modulus, bulk modulus, and Poisson's ratio, as well as the ionizing radiation shielding properties of all glass samples. The inclusion of CoO significantly enhances the ionizing radiation shielding capabilities and elastic moduli. The inclusion of CoO significantly enhances the elastic parameters and stability of the present glass samples. The radiation shielding properties were compared to several commonly used materials. Based on this analysis, the current glass samples outperform numerous widely used materials. The present glass samples can be used for radiation shielding applications, based on the results obtained. | ||
