    Investigation of electromagnetic shielding properties of boron, carbon and boron-carbon fibre hybrid woven fabrics and their polymer composites

    The growth of the electronic industry and the widespread use of electronic equipment in communications, computations, automations, biomedicine, space and other purposes have led to many electromagnetic interference (EMI) problems as systems operate in close proximity. It is likely to become more severe in the future, unless proper EMI control methodology and techniques are used to meet the electromagnetic compatibility requirements. In recent years, electromagnetic (EM) waves in the 1-10 GHz range are broadly used in wireless communication tools and local area networks. In the future, the usable range of EM waves will tend to shift further to higher frequency regions with the development of information technology as well as electronic devices. As a consequence, the seriousness of problems such as EMI of electronic devices and health issues is ever rising. In this study, electromagnetic shielding effectiveness, absorbance and reflectance properties of the boron, carbon and boron-carbon plain woven fabrics and boron/polyester, carbon/polyester, and boron-carbon/polyester hybrid composites were investigated. Using a coaxial transmission line holder set-up, the (EMSE), reflectance and absorbance of various fabrics and composites were carried out in the frequency range from 15 to 3000 MHz.

    Investigation of the Electromagnetic Shielding Effectiveness of Needle Punched Nonwoven Fabrics Produced from Stainless Steel and Carbon Fibres
    (INST CHEMICAL FIBRES, 2018) SANCAK, ERHAN; Ozen, Mustafa Sabri; Usta, Ismail; Yuksek, Metin; Sancak, Erhan; Soin, Navneet
    The electromagnetic shielding effectiveness (EMSE) of needle punched, nonwoven fabrics produced using staple stainless steel and carbon fibres was investigated. Utilising carding and large scale industrial type needle punching machines, webs of staple stainless steel and carbon fibres were produced, which were subsequently bonded on the needle punching machine at approximately 132 punches/cm(2) and 13.5 mm needle penetration depth. The effect of varying the carbon fibre content was studied by varying the blend ratio of stainless steel and carbon fibres between 5-20%. EMSE measurements of as-produced needle punched nonwoven fabrics were carried out using the coaxial transmission line method (ASTM D4935-10) in the frequency range of 15-3000 MHz. Within the range, the EMSE values were enhanced from 22.3 dB (95/5, stainless steel/carbon) to 44.7 dB (80/20, stainless steel/carbon), which was attributed to the enhanced conductivity of the fabrics. In fact, the surface resistivity of the samples decreased from 5.80E + 3 Omega to 2.43E + 2 Omega, enhanced for 95: 5 and 80: 20 stainless steel/carbon blends.

    Investigation of electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of needle punched nonwoven fabrics with staple polypropylene and carbon fibres
    (TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2016) SANCAK, ERHAN; Ozen, Mustafa Sabri; Sancak, Erhan
    Conductive needle punched nonwoven fabrics are developed from staple polypropylene (PP) and varying weight fractions (10, 20 and 30 wt.%) of staple carbon fibres. A fibrous webs of staple PP and carbon fibres were formed at a wool-type carding machine, and these webs subsequently bonded on needle punching machine with 132 punches/cm(2) and 13.5 mm needle penetration depth. The electromagnetic shielding effectiveness (EMSE), absorption and reflection characteristics of as-produced needle punched nonwoven fabrics were determined using a network analyser as specified in ASTM D4935-10 in the frequency range 15-3000 MHz. The surface resistivity measurements were carried out in accordance with ASTM D 257-07 standard. These results indicate that the EMSE values increase incrementally with frequency in the 15-3000 MHz range. The nonwoven sample with 30 wt.% carbon fibre showed the lowest surface resistivity of 3.348 k Omega and corresponding highest EMSE of similar to 42.1 dB in the 3000 MHz frequency range. In comparison, the highest EMSE values from 10 to 20 wt.% staple carbon fibre were found to be 15.6 and 32.2 dB in the 3000 MHz frequency, respectively. It was observed that the absorbance and reflectance curves of each nonwoven fabric move at opposite directions to each other. It was found that as the amount of carbon fibre in the nonwoven fabric increases, absorbance values decrease, but reflectance values increase. The resultant nonwoven fabric samples are expected to be used as garment interlining after thermal bonding and wall interlayer in the future.
