Design and Shielding Effectiveness of Electromagnetic Shielding Textiles

Abstract

.In order to design better anti-radiation and electromagnetic shielding fabric and the clothing and makes it maintained better of electromagnetic shield effectiveness, the influence of radiation source, radiation distance, anti-electromagnetic radiation material, fabric structure, gap size, holes area, clothing exposed area as well as the tunnel effect and so on the fabric radiation protection performance were comprehensively discussed in this article. As well, according to these influence factor analysis the regular conditions that the electromagnetic shielding fabric and garment design should be meet. The analysis result indicated that the shielding effectiveness of the fabric was decreased with the increase of the radiant frequency, the fabric slit size, the hole area and enhanced with the growing of the metal content, the organizational structure close degree as well as the radiation distance.In the case of the equal shielding effect, the bigger exposed area leads weaker electromagnetic shielding effectiveness and if the exposed area oversize can cause the shield effect vanished. Also the clothing shield potency was related to the opening radius, the length, the inside and outside dielectric constant, the permeability of the shirt or cuff. The comprehensive effectiveness of electromagnetic shielding fabrics will be gradually improved if they can meet these regular conditions continually.
