Abstract

A thin, light-weight, flexible sheet product useful for the manufacture of radiation attenuation garments. The sheet product is a polymeric material and includes a heavy loading of high molecular weight metal particles. The sheet product is formed from a polymer latex dispersion into which a high molecular weight metal particles are dispersed, where the latex retains a sufficiently low viscosity to be pourable and allow casting of the sheet product.
