Definitions
- the subject of the present invention is a material for protection against X-rays and various methods of manufacturing this material.
- This protective material can be used to protect a large number of X-ray sensitive devices such as electronic or optical devices as well as people working under X-rays such as radiologists.
- the invention applies more particularly to the protection against X-rays of integrated circuits and optical fibers, used in the aeronautical and space fields.
- One of the techniques most used to protect any device against X-rays is to enclose the device in a pure metal envelope with a high atomic number.
- the metal and the thickness of the metal sheet are chosen and adapted according to the energy of the X-ray considered and the desired filtering rate. This technique provides effective protection against high doses of X-rays but also against X-rays with high dose rate.
- the X-ray protective metal sheet cannot be placed directly against all of the external faces of the device because of the often complex profile thereof.
- this profile complexity is often imposed by heat dissipation constraints.
- the volume defined by the metal protective sheet is found to be greater than the volume of the device to be protected. This leads to an increase in the weight and size of the device, an increase reinforced by mechanical devices which become necessary for keeping the metal sheet in place (spacer, bracket, screws, etc.).
- these holding devices must be made of the same metal as that of the protective metal sheet so as not to create "holes" in the protection against X-rays.
- dielectric ceramics such as barium titanium or neodymium titanate, titanium oxide or a complex ceramic based on lead are cited.
- the proliferation of individual protections may prove to be more penalizing in weight than an overall protection of all the electronic components.
- the technology for developing the various materials constituting the stacks is based on processes used for the manufacture of capacitors and in particular sintering processes. In particular, the method described does not make it possible to obtain a material for protection against X-rays having a complex shape.
- the materials used consist mainly of a filler such as lead, dispersed in an organic binder.
- a filler such as lead
- Such protective materials are in particular described in document FR-A-2 190 717 filed in the name of Giken, the document FR-A-2 482 761 filed in the name A. MAURIN, and the patent US-A-3 622,432 from the HK PORTER Company.
- lead-based materials can only be used as X-ray protective material for low dose rate radiation associated with relatively long dose distribution times.
- materials for protection against ⁇ and neutron radiation formed from a plastic or rubberized material containing powder of a salt of lead, tungsten, barium, cadmium, bismuth or tin of a saturated fatty acid. These materials are notably described in document FR-A-2 027 514 filed in the name of F. MARYEN.
- the subject of the present invention is precisely a material for protection against X-rays which makes it possible to remedy the various drawbacks given above.
- this protective material of the organic material type containing a filler, allows, compared to the use of a heavy metal sheet, a gain in mass and bulk while ensuring effective protection against X-rays. at high dose rate and in particular at dose rate greater than 108 rad.s.
- this protective material does not pose a major manufacturing problem and can be used in a greater number of applications than those of the prior art.
- the invention relates to a material for protection against X-rays, characterized in that it is formed from a resin matrix containing in the form of a powder regularly dispersed at least one metal and / or at least one inorganic compound of a metal, the powder melting only at a temperature at least equal to 630 ° C and the metal having an atomic number at least equal to 47.
- powder of at least one metal and / or at least one inorganic compound of a metal it is in particular necessary to understand a powder consisting of a metal and of an inorganic compound of this same metal or of another metal.
- thermochock phenomenon within the material.
- thermal shocks are also linked to the energy spectrum considered.
- the thermochock generated in the protective material will be much weaker than in the corresponding metal in massive form. This induces a double favorable consequence vis-à-vis the non-degradation of the protective material of the invention against X-rays and vis-à-vis the objects to be protected.
- the dimensions (thicknesses) and the effi cacity of the material for protection against X-rays are calculated in the energy domain of the absorption, by photoelectric effect, of the material.
- the parameters influencing the level of protection i.e. filtering, are defined to offer the same protection efficiency as a solid metal taken as a reference.
- the filtering efficiency of the reference solid metal is expressed in g / cm2.
- filtering equivalent to n g / cm2 of the reference metal n being a function of the efficiency requirement.
- any of the protective materials which are the subject of the invention may be used.
- the possible level of protection being a function, in part, of the thickness available to accommodate materials for protection against X-rays, the nature of the powder and its quantity in the resin matrix will be imposed.
- the loss of efficiency is all the smaller the higher the quantity of powder and the smaller the particle size.
- the value of dispersion of the granulometry of the powders in the matrix is linked to the average value of the granulometry chosen for the application considered. This dispersion value can be up to five times the average value of the particle size.
- the particle size parameter guaranteeing the best compromise "cost-performance-ease of implementation" is for a particle size powder with an average value of 4 ⁇ m with a dispersion coefficient of 2.5.
- the powder can therefore advantageously contain grains having dimensions ranging from 1.6 ⁇ m to 10 ⁇ m.
- the amount of powder in the binder can be up to 50% by volume of the finished X-ray protection material. As with particle size, the higher the amount of powder, the more effective the protection. However, an amount of powder greater than 50% by volume is contrary to good mechanical strength of the material and good homogeneity of the latter. Furthermore, the minimum quantity of powder allowing effective protection against X-rays is 25% by volume of the finished protective material.
- the doping rate is a function of the envisaged application, and in particular a function of the flexibility desired for the protective material.
- thermoplastic or thermosetting resin may be used.
- resin which can be used mention may be made of polyamides, poly ethers, polyesters, phenoplasts or phenolic resins, polyolefins, epoxides, polyimides, silicones and furan resins.
- a silicone resin such as a mixture of RTV1502 and RTV141 from Rhône Poulenc, a phenolic resin such as bakelite or a polyetherblockamide or polyetherblockester resin is used.
- the metallic powder dispersed in the organic binder can be a powder of silver, antimony, barium, rare earth, tantalum, tungsten, rhenium, irridium, platinum, gold, d 'uranium, hafnium or a mixture of these metals. Silver, tantalum, tungsten or uranium is preferably used as the metal powder.
- the powder consisting of an inorganic compound, dispersed in the organic binder may be an oxide, a nitride, a carbide of a heavy metal whose atomic number is at least equal to 47 or a mixture of these compounds.
- metals used in the composition of the inorganic compound use may be made of those mentioned above.
- the inorganic compound is an oxide, a nitride or a carbide of silver, tantalum, tungsten or uranium when this compound actually exists.
- the X-ray filtering efficiency is a relationship between the irradiation spectrum and the energy levels of the electron bands of the reference metal. These energy levels have discontinuities which mean that, for a given X-ray energy, a metal "A”, and therefore an inorganic compound of this metal, filters more than a metal "B” and therefore that a inorganic compound of the latter. At a different energy, this metal "B” will be able to filter more than metal "A"; the same is true for the inorganic compounds of these metals.
- metals and / or of one or more inorganic compounds of a metal makes it possible to optimize protection against X-rays over a very wide energy spectrum.
- the choice of metals and / or inorganic compounds to be mixed takes into account the specific intended use.
- metals and / or compounds having complementary absorption spectra are associated in particular in order to obtain the desired protection X.
- the invention also relates to methods of manufacturing a material for protection against X-rays as defined above.
- These methods all consist of a premixing of the resin and of the powder and then of a polymerization according to the desired shape.
- the premixing stage ensures good distribution of the powder in the organic binder, and therefore homogeneity of the opacity of the material for protection against X-rays.
- a first method consists in melting granules of a thermoplastic resin, in intimately mixing this molten resin with powder of at least one metal and / or at least one inorganic compound of a metal, the powder melting only 'at a temperature at least equal to 630 ° C and the metal having an atomic number at least equal to 47, to extrude the mixture to form granules of said mixture and to polymerize these granules.
- This process has the advantage of simple implementation and gives very good results as to the homogeneity of the protective material. It can be used, taking into account the flexibility of the material obtained, to produce an X-ray protective sheath of an optical fiber made of plastic, glass or silica or of an electrical conductor.

- the purity of tungsten is 99.9%.
- This mixture is then introduced into a ZSK30 extruder-granulator from the company WERNER in order to obtain mixture granules of 3 to 5mm in diameter which can be polymerized in any form.
- These mixture granules are in particular introduced into a mold containing a box, intended to contain electronic circuits and to be protected against X-rays.
- the thickness of the protective coating depends on the efficiency of the desired X-ray filtering and on the energy spectrum of these rays can be adapted in each case. However, a thickness of 1.5 mm may be sufficient in the majority of cases.
- the casing is coated by injection molding or by compression of the X-ray protective material on the casing to be protected, housed in the mold.
- an X-ray protective material is produced with the PA11 resin containing 6% by volume of tungsten and 24% by volume of uranium oxide UO2.
- the powders of W and UO2 have a particle size of 4 ⁇ m and a dispersion of 2.5.
- the material obtained by injection molding on a housing, provides effective protection against X-rays of energy ranging from 4 to 70 KeV. A thickness greater than 2 mm of this material is sufficient to ensure effective protection of electronic circuits housed in the housing.
- an X-ray protective material was produced formed from a DINYL resin from RHONE-POULENC containing 30% by volume of a tungsten powder of 99.9% of purity.
- This resin is a polyetherblockamide, thermoplastic.
- the average particle size of this powder was 4 ⁇ m with a dispersion coefficient of 2.5.
- This material was used to coat optical fibers with silica.
- the outer diameter of the fiber cladding was 2.5 mm.
- a similar material can be obtained by replacing the DINYL resin with the HYTREL resin from DUPONT de NEMOURS, the latter being a polyether blocker (thermoplastic).
- An X-ray protective material was formed formed from a silicone matrix (RTV1502 + RTV141) containing a tungsten powder with 40% by volume of the finished material.
- the tungsten powder has the same characteristics as above.
- the material obtained is flexible and has an elongation at break greater than 50%. This material is particularly well suited for coating electrical conductors or optical fibers, given its flexibility.
