Mechanical and Radiation Shielding Study of B₂O₃–SiO₂–P₂O₅–Li₂O –TiO₂ Glasses

40B₂O₃-20SiO₂-20P₂O₅-(20-x) Li₂O-xTiO₂ glasses containing B₂O₃,SiO₂,P₂O₅,Li₂O and variable amounts of TiO₂ were formed using the melt-quenching procedure. The absence of Bragg’s peaks suggested that every sample was amorphous in XRD spectra. The increase in density, ultrasonic velocity, and elastic moduli of the glass samples as the TiO₂ level increases suggests the formation of a more expanded structure with greater TiO₂ content. Both the ultrasonic velocity ( \({V}_{L}\) $V_L$ ) and shear ( \({V}_{S}\) $V_S$ ) have increased. ( \({V}_{L}\) $V_L$ ) increased from 5070 to 5495 m/s, whereas ( \({V}_{S}\) $V_S$ ) increased from 2890 to 3080 m/s. The elastic moduli of the glasses have increased as the concentration TiO₂ increased. Including TiO₂ in B₂O₃–SiO₂–P₂O₅–Li₂O glasses and investigating its impact on gamma shielding properties through Phy-X simulation provides valuable insights into the glass’s performance in radiation protection. Including TiO₂ enhances the proficiency of the shielding due to its influence on the MAC, resulting in better absorption of radiation and hence lower HVL values. The composition-dependent elastic properties of B₂O₃–SiO₂–P₂O₅–Li₂O–TiO₂ glasses have significant implications for their potential practical applications.
