Abstract

Electromagnetic (EM) radiation is everywhere in this world and galaxy in different forms and levels. In some cases, human beings need to protect themselves from electromagnetic radiations and the same thing is also recommended for electronic devices as well. Lots of studies are there on the shielding of electromagnetic radiation interference using metals, polymers, and minerals. For protecting the human being, textile structures are playing the main role. In the textile material structure itself many types are there; each one is having its unique geometrical shape and design. In this work, the copper/nickel-coated ultrathin nonwoven fabric is prepared like a strip. The 3, 6, and 9 mm thick strips are prepared and laid at different gaps, angles, and layered to study the effect of factors on EM shielding effectiveness as per ASTM D4935-10 standard. The design of experiment has been done to analyze the three factors and three levels of the strip properties having an influence on electromagnetic shielding results. From the findings of the design of experiment (DoE) screening design, the factors are the thickness of the strips, the gap between the strips, and the strips laid angle having a statistically significant effect on electromagnetic shielding effectiveness.

Highlights

  • An electromagnetic (EM) fields are everywhere in this universe; it occurs naturally as well as artificially

  • The intermediated and radio frequency EM radiations maybe harmful to living beings as well as electronic devices and it travels at the speed of light

  • Living beings exposed to an extreme level of EM radiations may cause cancer, tissue damage, lymphoma, leukemia etc., [3] and the electronic devices are damaged with EM radiations because it creating electromagnetic interference (EMI) [4]

Summary

Introduction

An electromagnetic (EM) fields are everywhere in this universe; it occurs naturally as well as artificially. Metals are the best material for EM shielding applications which are silver, copper, stainless steel, iron, gold, nickel, brass, graphite, etc., are good conductors of electricity as well as reflect and absorb most of the EM radiations [5]. The simulated structures were formed by the conductive strips’ material at the different thickness, gap, and angle to study their effects on electromagnetic shielding effectiveness. Another goal is to find out the optimal model based on the requirement
