Abstract

This study investigated the electromagnetic shielding effectiveness, UV protection, and thermal storage of stainless steel hybrid jacquard fabrics. Eight stainless steel hybrid jacquard fabrics were woven with two kinds of warp yarns (nylon and rayon) and a weft yarn blended with various amounts (0, 7, 14, 21%) of stainless steel yarn. The results showed that the stainless steel hybrid jacquard fabrics provided effective electromagnetic shielding. While the electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of stainless steel hybrid jacquard fabrics was obviously frequency dependent, the overall electromagnetic shielding effectiveness increased as the proportion of stainless steel yarn increased. However, the 7% stainless steel hybrid jacquard fabric provided electromagnetic shielding effectiveness values over 10 dB in the frequency range of 350- 1.2 GHz. In short, the 7% stainless steel hybrid fabric is suitable for use in fashion fabrics while providing effective electromagnetic shielding. By adding stainless steel yarn, UV protection was increased but thermal storage suffered.
