Abstract
The expansion of the electronic industry and the extensive use of electronic equipment in communications, computations, automations, biomedicine, space, and other purposes have led to problems such as electromagnetic interference of electronic devices and health issues. For reasons given above, a demand for protection of human being, sensitive electronic and electrotechnic appliances against undesirable influence electromagnetic signals and troublesome charges raised. This paper presents the present state of a fabrication and characterization of multifunctional metal hybrid fabrics with increased resistivity to electromagnetic smog at conserving basic properties of textile structures designated for clothing purposes. The parameters influencing electromagnetic (EM) shielding properties of the hybrid fabrics were investigated. It was shown that the EM shielding effectiveness of the fabrics could be tailored by modifying the metal content, metal grid size and geometry. Furthermore, correlation between electrical properties and EM shielding effectiveness and comfort properties was studied. © (2013) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
