摘要

In this study, a series of new glass samples with the composition ( \(15-x\) 15 - x ) Na2O-67B2O3-13SiO2-5Al2O3- \(x\) x TiO2, where x = 0:10 mol% were manufactured. The density ( \(\rho\) ρ ) increased with the increase in TiO2 concentration due to its higher molecular weight. This increase in ( \(\rho\) ρ ) correspondingly enhanced the longitudinal \({V}_{L}\) V L , transverse \({V}_{T}\) V T velocities and elastic moduli, including longitudinal (L), transverse (G), bulk (K), and Young’s (Y) moduli. \({V}_{L}\) V L increased from 4980 to 5455 while \({V}_{T}\) V T rose from 2685 to 2915 m/s. Similarly, the values of L, G, K, and Y (GPa) exhibited consistent upward trends, ranging from 71.82 to 128.8, 20.88 to 36.75, 44 to 79.7, and 54.16 to 95.6, respectively. The results showed that increasing TiO2 content inside the composite enhances the shielding ability against ionizing radiation. The shielding ability of BSTi-10 > BSTi-7.5 > BSTi-5 > BSTi-2.5 > BSTi-0 at all discussed energy photons. Future work will focus on optimizing the glass composition for enhanced mechanical and shielding properties while evaluating the glasses’ long-term durability and performance under various environmental and irradiation conditions.
