Manufacturing Technique and Properties Evaluation of Ni-Coated Copper Composite Fabrics

Abstract:

The existence of the electromagnetic radiation may lead to diseases, which also includes cancer and cause the repellence of electrical compatibility. The textiles which have electromagnetic shielding effectiveness become more important in modern life. In the research, the PET/ Ni-coated Copper composite yarn were made by the wrapping machine, which the core yarn is Ni-coated Copper wire and the wrapped yarn is PET filament. After that, the composite yarn is fabricated by the automatic sampling loom into woven fabrics and had the tests of mechanical properties and electromagnetic shielding effectiveness. The test results revealed that the EMSE of the PET/Ni-Cu complex woven fabrics is 32.28dB, which the test frequency is 900 MHz, laminated layer number is 3 and the laminated angles are 0°/45°/90°, respectively.
