The present invention relates to an X-ray absorbing material which can be used in medicine as well as in the production of special protection clothes, protection screens, housings, protection coatings and isolation materials. In a first embodiment, the material uses as a filler a poly-dispersed kneading-segregated mixture containing metallic particles having a size of between 10-9 and 10-3 m, wherein said particles are bonded to the surface of a textile base. The density of the material is defined by the relation qm= (0.01 - 0.20)qd where qm is the density of the X-ray absorbing material as a whole while qm is the density of the material used for the particles of the X-ray absorbing filler. In a second embodiment, this invention uses as a filler the above-mentioned mixture though the particles are surrounded by the volume of a matrix made of a compound that solidifies under atmospheric pressure. The total mass of the poly-dispersed and segregated mixture is defined by the relation M = (0.05 - 0.5)m where M is the total mass of the X-ray absorbing poly-dispersed and segregated filler, while m is the equivalent mass of the filler material which is equal by its protection properties to the mass M. In a third embodiment, this invention uses as a filler the above-mentioned mixture though the particles are bonded to an intermediate substrate consisting of a textile base and surrounded by the volume of a matrix. |
