In the present work antimony ore imbedded silicone rubber materials were produced for radiation shielding
applications. Natural antimony ore was used in the experiments. The production parameters of the samples were
investigated. Antimony oxide percentage in the ore was measured about 6.95 wt. % and average particle size of the ore
was decreased to 500 microns. Up to 70% of antimony ore could be imbedded successfully into silicone rubber. Optimal
stiffener ratio for silicone rubber+ antimony ore mixture was investigated as 3-5 wt. % for the studied samples. The
thickness of the materials was decreased to 0.1 cm where 15 cm of diameter. Decreasing particle size caused to more
homogenous materials production. Some non-homogenous region and air bubbles were observed by using X-ray
radiography films for 10 wt. % antimony ore imbedded silicone rubber. An experimental study was realized to produce
radiation shielding materials for medical applications
