Electromagnetic shielding behavior of conductive woven fabrics reinforced thermoplastic composites

The conductive hybrid yarn fabricated by Rotor Twister had carried out successfully. The copper wire and Polyamide filament were used as the core yarn and polypropylene filament was taken as the wrapping yarn respectively to fabricate the warp and weft yarns for weaving. The automatic electronic sampling loom was used in this study successfully to fabricate the conducting woven fabrics with the conductive hybrid yarns. The conducting woven fabrics were laminated with various angles in four and six layers and then heat pressed for 1.3 mm in thickness. The electromagnetic shielding effectiveness (EMSE) tensile behavior and destructive observation of the conducting woven fabrics reinforced thermoplastic composites were investigated in this study.
