Thermal properties of hybrid knitted fabrics for electromagnetic field shielding

Abstract

Many researchers have been involved in the development of textiles with electromagnetic radiation (EMR) shielding properties. Flexible protective screens based on textiles are used for human protection – metal fibers containing textiles or textile materials with surface nanomodification. If any textile comes into the contact with human skin, it is necessary to know its comfort properties. In this study hybrid knitted fabrics with different ratio of steel wire in structure are investigated. Their thermal properties as main indicators of comfort properties are studied.
