Shielding effects of different materials under 1 MeV electron and 20 MeV proton beams were simulated with Geant4 code. It was found that shielding effects of polyethylene and graphite fibers are much better than aluminum. Energy depositions in the phantom shielded by the materials are calculated, with the least energy deposition by graphite fiber shielding. The results show that graphite fibers are good radiation shielding material in space programs.
