Nickel coating was prepared on surface of Epoxy Resin plate by electroless plating process. Surface and section morphologies of the coatings were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and metallographic optic microscopy. Electromagnetic shielding effectiveness was evaluated via flanged coaxial electromagnetic shielding effectiveness tester. The results showed that the surface of the nickel coating prepared by electroless plating process was smooth, and its structure was fine and compact. The electroless deposition rate of the nickel coating reached at 12μm/h. In the frequency range of 300 kHz to 100MHz the electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of the nickel coating was above 60dB, and in the frequency range of 100MHz to 1.5GHz the electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of the nickel coating was above 44dB.

A new kind of Ni-Cu-coated calcium-magnesium silicate whiskers was prepared by electroless plating and characterized by EDS, SEM and XRD. And the preparation and shielding performance of a new kind of Ni-Cu-coated calcium-magnesium silicate whisker/nickel powder/epoxy resin electromagnetic shielding coatings were explained. The study results show the Ni-Cu-coated whisker with micro-sized spinal structure contains 12.4 wt% Ni and 1.35 wt% Cu. When the coating layer thickness is 300 μm, the shielding effectiveness of the coatings containing 4 wt% Ni-Cu-coated calcium-magnesium silicate whisker is up to 39.24-48.52 dB and increased an average of 10.38 dB compared with the nickel powder/epoxy resin electromagnetic shielding coatings in the frequency range of 0.3-1000 MHz. This offers a new idea to raise the levels of the comprehensive utilization of mineral resources and the prevention of electromagnetic environmental pollution.

To solve electromagnetic interference of electronic devices and health issues by the expansion of the electronic industry and the extensive use of electronic equipment, flexible and stretchable conductive elastic textiles are beneficial. This study prepared conductive Ni/polyaniline (PANi)/polytrimethylene-terephthalate (PTT) composite fabric by in situ chemical polymerization and electroless nickel plating. Their direct current electrical resistance and the shielding efficiency energy were tested. Furthermore, the effect of electroless plating conditions was investigated on surface resistivity and electromagnetic shielding effectiveness (EMSE) of the composite fabric, and the correlation between electrical resistivity and EMSE was explored. The results show that the shielding efficiency energy of Ni/PANi/PTT composite fabric optimized can reach more than 40 dB and at a given frequency it has an inverse parabolic relation with the electroless plating conditions. In addition, when the electroless plating conditions is the determinant, the SE has little change in the electromagnetic wave frequency, especially in the frequency range of 600 MHz or more. It is concluded that the EMSE of the Ni/PANi/PTT conductive fabrics could be tailored by modifying the chemical reagent contents in the electroless plating solution.

Fabrics for electromagnetic shielding are especially relevant in nowadays context, contributing to human’s protection and wellbeing and to proper functioning of electronic equipment, in relation to electromagnetic compatibility. Fabrics with electromagnetic shielding properties employ two main technologies, namely insertion of conductive yarns and application of conductive coatings. Magnetron sputtering is a modern technology to enable conductive coatings with thickness in the range of nanometers onto fabrics. This paper aims to analyze contribution of various conductive textile structures out of both fabrics with inserted conductive yarns and coatings to Electromagnetic shielding effectiveness (EMSE). EMSE was measured in the frequency range of 0.1–1000 MHz by using a TEM cell according to standard ASTM ES-07. Results show a gain of 10–25 dB when introducing silver yarns in warp/ weft direction, a variation of 5–35 dB between conductive yarns out of silver and stainless steel and an up to 12 dB gain out of thin copper coating by magnetron plasma onto the fabrics with inserted conductive yarns

This study involves a comprehensive evaluation of electromagnetic shielding characteristics of multilayer three-dimensional conductive fabrics by using cotton/copper wrapped hybrid yarn in X band frequency range. Five, three-dimensional fabrics with different structural configuration, such as orthogonal, angle interlock, cellular spacer, multi-tubular spacer, and contour were produced. Three different series of all five structures was also developed using pure cotton fabric, conductive hybrid yarn in weft and one-third hybrid yarn and two-third cotton yarn in warp Also, the effect of vertical and horizontal polarization of electromagnetic waves on electromagnetic shielding effectiveness was studied. The comparative analysis of reflectance transmittance and absorption behavior was also undertaken. The results indicate that pure cotton fabric (A series) does not have electromagnetic shielding capabilities. The difference between the electromagnetic shielding effectiveness values in vertical and horizontal planes of fabrics, having conductive hybrid yarn in weft direction (B series), showed significantly better results on the vertical plane in comparison to that on the horizontal plane. Fabric containing conductive hybrid yarn in both warp and weft (C series) exhibits consistent electromagnetic shielding effectiveness in both the planes. It is worth mentioning that the structural configuration in all five three-dimensional fabrics in B and C series has shown differential trends of electromagnetic shielding effectiveness in terms of reflectance, transmittance and absorption behavior. They are also found to be statistically significant. Finally, it is concluded that the conductive 3-D multilayer system develops special protective capabilities, mostly due to its larger surface area.

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.

Stainless steel (SS) blended yarns with electromagnetic interference (EMI) were made into woven fabrics, after which the fabrics were evaluated with electromagnetic shielding effectiveness (EMSE). Parameters of laminated angle and the lamination number layers affected the fabrics’ EMSE differently. In addition, density of unidirectional SS yarns affected EMSE in frequency range of 200 to 500 MHz , so as the density of cross SS yarns on a frequency over 1000 MHz.

The lightweight multilayer-structured electromagnetic interference shielding composite coatings with controllable electromagnetic gradient on wood surface were prepared via a simple multiple electroless copper–nickel (Cu–Ni) approach. The surface morphology, conductivity, hydrophobicity property and electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of the composite coatings were investigated. The surface roughness and conductivity of the composite coatings were enhanced with the increase in the number of depositions. The surface morphology demonstrated that the roughness was decreased with the process of multiple electroless. The coatings were compact and homogeneous as the deposition run was three. Here, the Sa (Sa illustrated Surface Roughness) value of coatings was 4.497 μm. The ideal conductivity of composite coatings can be obtained as the number of depositions was four. Electromagnetic shielding effectiveness reached average 90.69 dB in the frequency range from 300 kHz to 2.0 GHz. This study provides a new pathway for fabricating lightweight multilayer-structured electromagnetic interference shielding with controllable electromagnetic gradient and hydrophobic composite coatings-based wood.

A new kind of the electromagnetic shielding composite coatings with high performance was prepared using the Ni-Cu-coated glass fibers and nickel powders as fillers and using epoxy resin as binder. The effects of the fibers on the conductivity and electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of the coatings were studied. The study results show as follows: 1) when the optimum ratio of the fillers to epoxy resin is 4:1, the coatings containing 6 wt% the Ni-Cu-coated glass fibers has best conductivity and electromagnetic shielding effectiveness; when the coating layer thickness is 300 μm, the shielding effectiveness of the coatings is up to 43.71-52.31 dB and increased an average of 13.94 dB compared with the nickel powders/ epoxy resin electromagnetic shielding coatings in the frequency range of 0.3-1000 MHz. This offers a new idea to enhance the added value of the glass fibers and the prevention of electromagnetic environmental pollution.
