Metal Impregnated Polymers
These materials have been commonly used in the Nuclear industry as an alternative to lead wool blankets. Usually made with a shielding material of iron, bismuth or tungsten, these materials come in sheet form and in the form of strips for wrapping around and shielding pipes. Much like the Nanotek, this material can also be molded for custom shielding pieces. In addition, magnets, or gromets can be placed in the materials to allow for hanging from racks or attaching to metal surfaces. Protective layers can also be added to increase the durability of a sheet of material.
