This article contains the results of an experimental study to investigate the radiation absorption properties of different ratios of CuO-coated glasses. A gamma spectrometer connected with an NaI(Tl) detector has been used to assess the radiation shielding abilities of glass materials coated with CuO. The shielding characteristics of a CuO-doped glass samples with PMMA at a gamma energy of 662 keV were examined in this scope. The mean free path (mfp), half value layer (HVL) and tenth value layer (TVL) parameters have been determined using the results. As a result of this study, when glass materials coated with PMMA and CuO at different ratios were compared, it was concluded that increasing the amount of CuO in PMMA decreased the absorption coefficient.
