PURPOSE:To enable an usage of organo-siloxane composites or polyester composites as a shielding material for thermal neutrons, by adding a gadolinium having large shielding cross-section for thermal neutrons, in the form of a gadolinium-oxide to the base material which is the organo-siloxane composites or the polyester composites. CONSTITUTION:A subject shielding material for thermal neutrons consists of 100pts.wt. of poly-organo-siloxane both ends of which are closed with vinyl radicals as shown as the chemical formula I, contains (R'')2SiO unit or does not contain, and consists of (R'')3SiO0.5 unit (R'' in the formula stands for a monovalent hydrocarbon containing no unsturated bond of fatty acids group and and radicals selected by vinyl radicals). The material is formed by hardening a composite consisting of a 0-100pts.wt. of the poly-organo-siloxane copolymerization form which has 2.5-10% mols of silicon atoms having vinyl radicals which are connected directly to the silicon atoms, and has a ratio of (R'')3SiO0.5 unit to SiO2 unit to be 0.4:1 to 1:1, of a 40-99pts.wt. of a poly-organo-siloxane composites which is expressed as the chemical formula II, of an 1-60pts.wt. of a gadolinium-oxide and of an effective amount of platinum catalyst, altogether. In this way, an improved absorption characteristics for thermal neutron can be attained.

If the amount of cadrinium oxide added is less than 1 part by weight, its thermal neutron absorption properties are not fully exhibited, which is undesirable. Furthermore, there is no particular limit to the limit, and the composition can be blended within a range that maintains moldability of the orkanosiloxane composition or polyester composition, but usually about 60 parts by weight is sufficient to maintain moldability. This is the upper limit that can be maintained.
