Eco-friendly flexible polyvinyl-chloride composites reinforced with brine sludge and WO3: structural, thermal, and radiation shielding performance
Abstract This study investigated the structural, thermal, and gamma-ray shielding performance of flexible polyvinyl chloride (PVC) composites fabricated and reinforced with tungsten oxide (WO3) and brine sludge (BS). The composites were prepared with varying WO3 content (10–30 wt%) and a constant 10 wt% BS content. The...
