Abstract
The accelerated development of textile products that have shielding properties against electromagnetic (EM) radiation excites the interest of scientists, the textile and clothing industry in the manufacture of woven fabrics, knitted fabrics and clothing with shielding properties. This paper deals with the investigation of the shielding effect of the electroconductive fabric to be used for manufacturing protective clothing consisting of textile and non-textile components. The textile component is a cotton-modacrylic blend, and the non-textile component is an inox yarn inserted into the fabric every 1 cm in the transverse direction of the fabric. The fabric was finished using solvents in the processes of dry and wet cleaning as potential care processes. The measurement results of shielding fabric properties have shown that the degree of shielding is better preserved after 10 cycles of wet cleaning than after dry cleaning
Highlights
Field and waves of wireless technologies (GSM or global system for mobile communications, the internet, etc.) are nonionizing microwave electromagnetic (EM) radiations [1]
The results of the effectiveness of the electroconductive fabric before and after 10 cycles of the care process in weft and warp direction as shielding against electromagnetic radiation were obtained after measuring at frequencies of 0.9 GHz, 1.8 GHz, 2.1 GHz and 2.4 GHz, Tables 2 and 3
The effectiveness of shielding against EM radiation measured at all frequencies was reduced with increasing the number of dry cleaning cycles
Summary
Field and waves of wireless technologies (GSM or global system for mobile communications, the internet, etc.) are nonionizing microwave electromagnetic (EM) radiations [1].
