... in this study. This surplus densification in hydrocarbons (such as PCM and oil-based nanofluids) makes them potentially attractive candidates as radiation shielding materials (e.g., for deep space exploration applications). Importantly, densified fluids can act as radiation shields during space travel (e.g...
