Borosilicate glass is one of the famous glasses used in labs and kitchenware since its thermal expansion is so low. This research synthesized a new group of borosilicate glass to study its mechanical, optical, and radiation shielding properties. The experimental shielding setup was set to explore the glass performance in the radiation shielding field. The results were compared with the XCOM data to check validity. The optical properties were determined using absorption spectra for glass samples. At the same time, the mechanical properties were assessed theoretically to give an impression of the glass structure. The radiation shielding experimental setup was validated with a relative difference of 9.8066% between practical and theoretical findings. Meanwhile, adding SrO instead of BO increased the radiation shielding features. The mass attenuation coefficient values at 0.184 MeV rose from 0.1448 to 0.1474 cm/g with the addition of SrO. The mechanical and optical parameters showed variation in results when SrO was added. For example, the band gap values are 3.547, 3.485, 3.675, and 3.527 eV for STBS15, STBS20, STBS25, and STBS30, respectively. The Urbach energy results are 0.183, 0.182, 0.180, and 0.173 eV for STBS15, STBS20, STBS25, and STBS30, respectively. At the same time, the Young modulus results are 94.071, 88.880, 89.207, and 86.035 GPa for STBS15, STBS20, STBS25, and STBS30, respectively. The Poisson ratio ranged from 0.284 to 0.278 for STBS15 and STBS30. The adding SrO reduced the hardness from 5.260 to 4.966 GPa for STBS15 and STBS30. Finally, the results indicate the ability to use current glasses in the radiation shielding applications.

硼硅酸盐玻璃系统的实验辐射屏蔽、机械和光学性能：不同 SrO 的作用

硼硅酸盐玻璃是实验室和厨房用具中使用的著名玻璃之一，因为它的热膨胀非常低。这项研究合成了一组新的硼硅酸盐玻璃，以研究其机械、光学和辐射屏蔽性能。设置实验屏蔽装置是为了探索玻璃在辐射屏蔽领域的性能。将结果与 XCOM 数据进行比较以检查有效性。使用玻璃样品的吸收光谱测定光学特性。同时，从理论上评估机械性能，以给出玻璃结构的印象。辐射屏蔽实验装置经过验证，实际结果与理论结果之间的相对差异为 9.8066%。同时，添加SrO代替BO增加了辐射屏蔽特性。添加 SrO 后，0.184 MeV 处的质量衰减系数值从 0.1448 cm/g 上升至 0.1474 cm/g。添加 SrO 后，机械和光学参数显示结果发生变化。例如，STBS15、STBS20、STBS25和STBS30的带隙值分别是3.547、3.485、3.675和3.527eV。 STBS15、STBS20、STBS25 和 STBS30 的 Urbach 能量结果分别为 0.183、0.182、0.180 和 0.173 eV。同时，STBS15、STBS20、STBS25 和 STBS30 的杨氏模量结果分别为 94.071、88.880、89.207 和 86.035 GPa。 STBS15 和 STBS30 的泊松比范围为 0.284 至 0.278。添加 SrO 将 STBS15 和 STBS30 的硬度从 5.260 GPa 降低到 4.966 GPa。最后，结果表明当前玻璃能够在辐射屏蔽应用中使用。
