With the significant advancements in nuclear technology, countries have invested considerable research into radiation shielding and protection materials. Neutrons gamma photons strong penetrating abilities, which can directly jeopardize human health or lead to failure of electronic components. Therefore, developing high-performance materials for neutron photon has become a critical priority. Gadolinium (Gd), rare earth element with largest absorption cross-section among natural elements, performs excellently as absorber. Gd-containing composite are typically classified four main categories based on their matrix: metal-based, glass-based, ceramic-based, polymer-based. This paper reviews current status these types It provides comprehensive summary evaluation each material’s preparation processes, microstructures, mechanical properties, performance. Additionally, discusses role Gd type matrix material addresses challenges field.
