Abstract

In this study, the electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of various knitted structures made of Siro core-spun cotton yarns containing stainless steel wire is investigated. Electromagnetic shielding values of various knitted structures are determined by a coaxial test fixture relating to ASTM D 4935 test standards. Measurements are made in the frequency range of 30 MHz-1.73 GHz. Test results show that knitted fabrics investigated in this study have 10-20 dB shielding effectiveness for incident frequency. Also it is seen that the differences of knitted structure have an influence on the electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of fabrics.
