Investigation of electrical,electromagnetic shielding,and usage properties of woven fabrics made from different hybrid yarns containing stainless steel wires

This paper reports the results of a detailed study about specific properties of hybrid yarns and woven fabrics containing those yarns. For this aim, the fabrication procedures and physical properties of acrylic/stainless steel (SS) and cotton/acrylic/SS ply yarns were presented, and then, relations between those and electrical, electromagnetic shielding effectiveness (EMSE) and some usage properties of woven hybrid fabrics made from those with different constructions were investigated. EMSE of plain and twill fabrics were evaluated against radiating electromagnetic wave spectrum over a frequency 0–3000?MHz. A comparison of physical properties of yarns regarding wire diameter and the use properties of fabrics regarding weave type, wire diameter, and yarn type measured were presented. The functional textile products of complex applications can be achieved with low cost, easily since those yarns and fabrics were produced on conventional textile manufacturing machines with small modifications. The present study indicated that use of SS wire-based yarns in fabrics significantly increased the air permeability, pilling resistance, thermal resistance, and the flexural rigidity of hybrid fabrics. The plain weave fabrics exhibited higher EMSE values over 20?dB in higher frequencies and higher thermal absorbtivity values compared to twill fabrics.     

The electromagnetic shielding properties of some conductive knitted fabrics produced on single or double needle bed of a flat knitting machine

In recent years, the use of electrical and electronic devices has grown rapidly. These devices cause electromagnetic interferences, which could threaten human life. In order to solve this problem, intensive research to develop textile surfaces having electromagnetic shielding properties continues. In this paper, we study textile surfaces knitted with conductive copper and stainless steel wires wrapped with acrylic yarns and also core yarns produced by using conductive yarns to test the electromagnetic shielding properties of the fabrics. It was concluded that the knitted structure of the fabrics affected the electromagnetic shielding effectiveness (EMSE). Besides, the fabrics knitted on a double needle bed of the knitting machine with higher amounts of conductive yarns and unit weights could not provide the targeted improvement in the EMSE values with respect to the fabrics produced on a single needle bed of the knitting machine.

Electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of carbon/stainless steel/polypropylene hybrid yarn-based knitted fabrics and their composites

In this study, a range of conductive hybrid knitted fabrics and their composites have been investigated for shielding effectiveness in the frequency ranges of 50 MHz to 1.5 GHz (low frequency) and 4 to 8 GHz (C-Band). Carbon and stainless steel (SS) filaments were combined in Dref-3 spinning machine and different hybrid yarns were prepared. The plain- and rib-knitted fabrics were made in V-bed flat knitting machine from the prepared hybrid yarns. The composite laminate was prepared by sandwiching a ply of fabric between the polypropylene films in compression moulding machine at 180 °C for 5 min under a consolidation pressure of 12 bar. All the fabrics and composites were tested for shielding effectiveness (SE) in coaxial transmission line and C-band waveguide with the help of vector network analyser. It was observed that fabric having both conductive loop and inlaid yarns exhibited higher SE of 20.2 dB than other fabrics in low-frequency range. However, in the composite form, carbon composite with SS inlaid yarn showed better SE of 45 dB than other composites. In C-band frequency range, conductive loop fabric structures yielded high shielding effect in course direction compared to wales direction. Compared to fabric form, the composite showed higher SE for all frequency ranges. This study proposes that knitted fabrics and their composites can be utilized as electromagnetic shields in wide frequency ranges.

In this paper, a kind of novel filaments/short fibers composite yarns containing stainless steel (SS) were produced by an innovative ring-spinning method. On the basis of the shielding mechanism of the electromagnetic (EM) shielding material, a method for fabricating a multifunctional SS composite fabric with EM shielding characteristics was successfully developed.

A regression model equation was setup using the above factors as variables, and verification of accuracy and practicability to this model was also carried out. The experimental results indicate that average EMSE of composite fabrics is 20.76–51.92?dB in the frequency of 15–3000?MHz, which indicates that the influence of the studied factors was considerable.

Investigation of electromagnetic shielding properties of metal composite tufted carpets

Abstract

In this research, it is aimed to develop tufted carpets with electromagnetic shielding (EMSE) effectiveness. For this purpose, stainless steel, copper, silver wires, and metalized silver PA filaments were commingled with textured polyester yarn to produce composite yarn. Composite yarns were used in tufted carpet backing fabric with different densities and directions. The EMSE of carpet samples was measured in the frequency range of 0.8–5.2?GHz by free space technique. The effects of metal type, composite yarn density, and placement direction on the EMSE were statistically analyzed in 0.8–3.0 and 3.0–5.2?GHz frequency ranges separately. Stainless steel and silver wires provided better EMSE in the range of 0.8–3.0?GHz. Stainless steel showed better EMSE in lower frequencies than 3?GHz. The metallized silver was more effective above 3?GHz. The increase in metal density significantly increased EMSE for all metal types. Carpets containing metal in two directions provided multidirectional shielding and maximum EMSE reached up to 44?dB level. As a result of the study, tufted carpets which can provide multi-axial protection were produced successfully.

Investigating the electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of copper/cotton full Milano and 1 × 1 rib weft-knitted fabrics

In recent decades, the use of conductive textile structures for electromagnetic shielding effectiveness has been increased. In order to reduce, mitigate or completely eliminate destructive and adverse effects of these waves. For this purpose, the Copper/Cotton core spun yarn was manufactured and the copper wires with various diameters (0.06, 0.07, 0.08?mm) as core component were used. Copper/cotton core spun yarns were knitted with two knit structures, Full Milano and 1?×?1 Rib, at machine gauge (8, 10, and 12 per inch). The electromagnetic shielding effectiveness (EMSE) was examined using ASTM D4935-10 standard at frequency range between 0.03 to 1.5?GHz. The results show that heavier and thicker samples with larger stitch density have the higher EMSE values and also Full Milano knit structure with miss stitches provide larger shielding effectiveness values than 1?×?1 Rib knit structures.     

The effect of core-sheath proportion on the characteristics of fabrics produced with hollow yarns: part II comfort and mechanical properties

The study aims to investigate the effect of hollow yarn structure and the sheath-core proportion of hollow yarns on the permeability properties of the knitted fabrics. In order to accomplish this, core yarns in the yarn count of 59 tex were produced by using cotton, viscose, wool, and polyester fibers in the sheath and different ratios of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) in the core. After completion of yarn production on ring spinning frame, the yarns in the form of packages were used to produce plain knitted fabrics. Fabrics were then divided into two groups, one of which was washed during a time period in order to remove PVA from the core to obtain hollow yarn structure. Air and water permeability, and wicking properties of the knitted fabrics were measured before and after washing processes. Mechanical properties such as pilling and bursting strength of the fabrics were also examined. The results show that washing process and PVA proportion used to produce core spun yarns have a significant effect on the permeability and mechanical properties of the fabrics.

Air permeability and bursting strength of weft-knitted fabrics from glass yarn. Part I: cam setting and number of yarn ply effect

This study revealed the effect of cam setting and number of yarn ply on air permeability and bursting strength of weft-knitted fabrics from glass yarn. Change in cam setting from loose to tight level increased fiber content, and stitch-density; while it decreased loop length. Fabrics with 3-ply yarn exhibited higher fiber content; lower stitch-density; and longer loop length than fabrics with 2-ply yarn. Cam setting showed more pronounced effect on physical properties of fabric than number of yarn ply. Fabrics knitted via tight cam setting level exhibited less air permeability, and higher bursting strength than fabrics knitted via loose cam setting. Fabrics from 3-ply yarn showed less air permeability and higher bursting strength than fabrics from 2-ply yarn. Loop length, wale density, and fiber content were determined as the most effective physical properties on permeability and bursting strength. A negative correlation was detected between air permeability and bursting strength.     

Comprehensive performance of compound fabrics in terms of electromagnetic shielding and wearability based on the Euclid approach degree of fuzzy matter elements

In this study, we designed electromagnetic shielding fabrics (EMSFs) that consist of composite yarn containing stainless steel fibers. Ten EMSFs with different metal fiber contents and metal grid sizes were examined as research specimens, and tests were conducted to determine electromagnetic shielding effectiveness (EMSE) and wearability indices. The indices were analyzed and the comprehensive performances of the EMSFs evaluated with the fuzzy matter-element method. Experimental results show that the EMSE improved and fabric wearability worsened when metal fiber content increased and metal grid size decreased. Moreover, fuzzy matter-element evaluation findings suggested that the best comprehensive performance was observed in the composite fabric containing 11.71% metal and whose metal mesh measures 1.41 mm²; these features reflect the maximum Euclid approach degree.
