Abstract
In this work, the neutron shielding ability of Cellulose Acetate-CdO-ZnO Polymer Composites of different concentrations of CdO and ZnO were investigated. Cellulose acetate is a biodegradable good matrix and the used metal oxides are good for absorbing radiation. The neutron attenuation coefficient was calculated by Phy-X computer code for all the samples.
