This study investigates the development of epoxy–resin composites reinforced with coral-derived calcium carbonate (CaCO3) fillers for enhanced radiation shielding and mechanical properties. Leveraging high content density coral, were prepared filler weight fractions 0%, 25%, 50%. SEM EDS analyses revealed that higher concentrations (50%) increased particle agglomeration, affecting matrix uniformity. Mechanical testing showed while tensile flexural strengths decreased content, compressive strength significantly improved, reaching 135 MPa at a 50% coral content. Radiation evaluations demonstrated attenuation achieving 39.63% absorption 60 kVp composite. However, efficiency was notably lower compared to lead, which achieves over 99% similar energy levels. These quantitative comparisons highlight material’s limitations in high-radiation environments but emphasize its suitability moderate applications. Despite their efficiency, provide an environmentally friendly non-toxic alternative aligning sustainability goals. Future work should focus on optimizing dispersion, mitigating exploring hybrid systems enhance The further evaluation parameters such as Zeff cross-sections is recommended comprehensively assess performance.
