Hazardous radiation protective glasses for medical and research laboratories.

In the current study, the bismuth oxide (BiO) content was inter-substituted with gadolinium oxide (GdO) in sodium borate glass. Glass sample density and molar volume values show a reverse trend. The optical transparent radiation shielding glasses are more commonly used materials in hospitals or any hazardous radiation working environments, the glasses used in this work are more emphasized on their superior transmittance and acceptable for shielding materials for commercial purposes.
