It is generally known that polymer composites have high mechanical, chemical and flexibility properties as well. Using nanopowders of heavy metals and boron compounds as filler in these composites can give them X-ray protective properties. Therefore these materials can be used to create personal and group radiation protective equipment. However, high concentrations of fillers can lead to a dramatic degradation of mechanical properties of such composites. The X-ray protective and mechanical properties of the polymer-matrix composite based on polysulphon of ultrason S2010 (C27H22O4S) brand are investigated. The industrial boron carbide (B4C) with an average particle size 100 μm and nanopowder of tungsten (W) with an average particle size from 60 to 80 nm were used as fillers.
