In order to fabricate fabrics with electromagnetic shielding effectiveness (EMSE) and other function, we fabricated Crisscross-section polyester /antibacterial nylon / stainless steel wires (CSP/AN/SSW) composite yarns with stainless wires as core yarn, antibacterial nylon and crisscross-section polyester as inner and out wrapped yarns, respectively. Knitted fabrics were fabricated with the metal composite yarns with wrap amount of 8 turns/cm on a circular knitted machine. Furthermore, the EMSE of the metal composite fabrics were evaluated by changing the lamination amounts and lamination angles. The results show that when the lamination amount was four, lamination angles were 0°/45°/90°/-45°, the EMSE of the fabrics reached to-10--20 dB in the frequency range of 300 KHz to 3 GHz.

In this study, antimicrobial and electromagnetic shielding properties of metal composite single jersey fabrics were investigated. For this purpose, stainless steel wire, copper wire, and metalized silver polyamide filament were commingled with textured polyester. The composite yarns were knitted to single jersey fabrics. Electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of samples was measured according to free space test method between 0.8 and 5.2 GHz frequency range. In addition, antibacterial and antifungal activity tests were performed for the overall technical characterization of composite fabrics. The effects of metal type, filament form on electromagnetic shielding effectiveness, and antimicrobial properties were examined. All composite fabrics showed electromagnetic shielding properties at different levels up to 35 dB in vertical direction. Fabrics including metalized multifilament yarn exhibit higher electromagnetic shielding effectiveness in both vertical and horizontal directions. In addition, antibacterial activity level of metalized silver polyamide and copper composite fabrics reached up to 99% against Klebsiella pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus. Furthermore, Aspergillus niger could not grow on these composite fabrics.

In order to fabricate textiles with electromagnetic shielding effectiveness (EMSE) and far infrared emissivity, we fabricated bamboo charcoal/metal (BC/M) composite wrapped yarns with metal wires (stainless steel wires or copper wires) as the core yarn and bamboo charcoal textured yarn as the wrapped yarns using a rotor twister machine. The optimum manufacture parameters included: the speed of the rotor twister was 8000 rpm and the wrapped amounts of the BC/M composite wrapped yarns were 4 turns/cm. The BC/M composite wrapped yarns were made into the BC/M composite woven fabrics using a loom machine. Moreover, we tested the BC/M composite woven fabrics in EMSE and then changed the lamination angles. When the lamination amount was 6, laminated angles were 0°/45°/90°/-45°/0°/45°, 0°/ 90°/0°/ 90°/0°/ 90°, and the frequencies of the incident waves were between 1.83 and 3 GHz, the EMSE of the BC/M composite woven fabrics reached 50 to 60 dB which was satisfactory.

In this paper, a kind of electromagnetic shielding fabric was introduced. The fabric was woven by composite yarns made of stainless steel fibers, cotton and polyester filaments. Using the tracer fiber technology, the internal structure of yarns and fabrics was observed through the optical microscope. Electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of the fabric was tested by FY800 electromagnetic radiation tester according to the standard of ASTM D4935-10. The optical microscope photographs show that the yarns and fabrics have many different sizes of metal grids internally. Research results show that with the increase of arrangement proportion of metallic yarns, fabric thickness and content of metallic fibers, electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of the fabric has a rising trend.

In this study, it was aimed to determine electromagnetic shielding effectiveness, antibacterial activity, surface resistivityand bending rigidity properties of 1×1 rib knitted fabrics. For this purpose, copper (Cu), stainless steel (SS) and silver(Ag) wires were commingled with two nylon filaments to produce metal composite yarns. 1×1 rib fabrics were producedby these composite yarns. Electromagnetic shielding effectiveness (EMSE), antibacterial activity, surface resistivity andbending rigidity of the composite knits were measured. Electromagnetic shielding measurements of samples wereconducted between 1.0–5.0 GHz frequency. Antibacterial activity test was applied according to AATCC 100 standardagainst K. pneumoniae and S. aureus bacteria. Results showed that knitted fabrics generally have lower SE values than10 dB at wale direction. The double layer samples provide higher EMSE than single layer samples for all metal types.Maximum EMSE value was obtained as 57.12 dB. The use of metal wire significantly reduced surface resistivity ofknitted fabrics. Copper composite knitted fabrics showed 99 % antibacterial activity against both bacterial species. Whencompared to the control sample, the use of metal wire significantly increased the rigidity of the samples.

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.
