Development of Polymer Composite Structures with Electromagnetic Shielding Characteristics

The aim of this research is to develop a lightweight polymer composite structure with electromagnetic shielding property for clothes, helmet, hard hat, baby carriers and similar wares. For this purpose, carbon fibre, carbon-aramid fibre and glass fibre panels have been produced. Nine different fabric samples have been used for tests. Electromagnetic shielding effectiveness (EMSE) of the panels were measured in anechoic chamber in order to determine the best performances. It is seen that the structure which is produced of carbon fibre has the highest electromagnetic shielding properties
