Abstract
Development of lightweight flexible materials for electromagnetic interference shielding has
obtained increased attention in recent years particularly for clothing, textiles in-house use and technical
applications especially in areas of aircraft, aerospace, automobiles and flexible electronics such as
portable electronics and wearable devices. There are many references in the literature concerning
development and investigation of electromagnetic shielding lightweight flexible materials especially textile
based with different electrically conductive additives. However, only little attention is paid to designing and
enhancing the properties of these special fabrics by textile finishing processes. Moreover, offer of fashion
for daily use having in addition electromagnetic radiation protection is very limited. The main purpose of
this study is firstly to analyze the possibilities of transferring design onto the surface of electrically
conductive fabrics by digital printing and to study the effect of surface modification on performance of
conductive fabric. Beside this, its durability, more precisely wet processing was studied. Woven fabric
made of yarns containing 10 % of extremely thin stainless steel fiber was used as a conductive substrate
and garment prototypes made of printed conductive fabric were introduced.
