This study investigated the applicability of synthetic resins as neutron shielding aggregates in cementitious materials with SEM analysis. Synthetic resins contain lots of hydrogen atoms, which is effective in neutron shielding by an elastic scattering because its mass is almost the same as that of the neutron. The SEM results showed that the binding force between HDPE/PP particles and cement matrix is very week compared to that of UPE particles so that additional treatment such as surface reforming should be needed.
