ceramic· Pb2B3O7.5H2
Pb2B3O7.5H2 is a hydrated lead borate ceramic compound belonging to the oxyborate family, combining lead oxide and boric oxide components with structural water. This material is primarily investigated for radiation shielding applications and specialized glass compositions, where the high atomic mass of lead provides effective attenuation of gamma rays and X-rays, while the borate network offers chemical stability and processing flexibility. Compared to conventional lead glass or pure lead-based shields, lead borates can offer improved mechanical properties and thermal stability, making them relevant for environments requiring both radiation protection and durability.
