Polymer tungsten curtain is a kind of protective curtain made of a new radiation protection material - a composite material of tungsten powder and high molecular polymer (one or more of plastic, rubber or thermoplastic elastomer). According to the experts, polymer tungsten curtain is an important radiation shielding in a mobile CT scanner.

Tungsten resin curtain is the most popular radiation shielding curtain that is mainly applied for mobile CT scanner to shield X-rays and other radiation sources. It is reported that tungsten resin is a new type of lead-free radiation shielding material (radiation protection material). And it is said that such a soft material of tungsten is likely to replace lead in medical shielding.

The experts proposed a preparation method of polymer tungsten. The prepared polymer tungsten has good physical and mechanical properties, good weather resistance, chemical resistance and organic solvent resistance so that it has a wide application such as radiation shielding, vibration isolation, counterweight, and ordnance, etc.

Tungsten alloy X-ray target is used as an anode in a medical X-ray tube. You know, since Roentgen discovered X-rays in 1895, X-rays have been gradually used in medical diagnosis and treatment. However, excessive X-ray exposure do harm to the patient. Therefore, while the X-ray target plays a role of generating X-ray, it had better have radiation shielding performance.
