Shielding from electromagnetic fields with electrically conductive textile materials: semectex

Today way of living demands from people continuous use of many electronic devices. The large number of transmitters nowadays works on frequencies between 900 MHz and 2.4 GHz (GSM phones, base stations and Wi-Fi). While on one hand most people do not want to live in vicinity of GSM base station, almost nobody wants to deprive himself from the advantages offered by mobile phone or tablet. Today, more and more people want to protect themselves from the electromagnetic field radiation. Complete protection from the electromagnetic fields on microwave frequencies is impossible. It would include some sort of Faraday cage, but then the communication would not be possible, that is ; electromagnetic signal could not travel from transmitter to the receiver. Electromagnetic shielding is one possibility of protection from electromagnetic radiation. For humans, this protection can be conductive textile materials inserted in suits or hats. Furthermore, conductive materials can be built in wallpaper or curtains for protection from environmental electromagnetic fields. Today, textile materials with metal threads are very light but quite expensive so the aim of proposed research is the analysis of existing textile materials with conductive copper or silver threads for electromagnetic shielding. Research would include development of measurement methods of shielding effectiveness of conductive textile shields on frequencies from 900 MHz to 2.4 GHz, as well as their possible application on humans, the durability and life cycle of the mentioned textile materials during use and caring.
