Abstract
An investigation was made on the electromagnetic shielding behaviour and other functional properties for manufactured multifunctional elastic warp-knitted fabrics. Bamboo charcoal polyester/Crisscross-section polyester (BC-PET/CSP) blended yarns were used as the back of the warp-knitted fabric while conductive composite yarns were used as the front. The variation in the far infrared emissivity and anion density of elastic-warp knitted fabrics produced with different proportions of BC-PET content were studied in detail. Moreover the electromagnetic shielding effectiveness (EMSE) of the fabrics with different elongation was measured in this study. The experimental results showed that increased elongation almost did not significantly affect the EM shielding behaviour of fabric K1 in the elongation range of 0 - 40%. Finally to increase the EMSE of the fabric, the lamination method was used in this study. EMSE measurement results showed that two layer K1 warpknitted fabrics with 90° interval displayed a better shielding effect against the EM wave compared to that with a 0° interval.
