Özet

This study investigates electromagnetic interference shielding and antibacterial activity of industrial polyester/viscose woven fabrics, including silver (Ag) treated yarns, to obtain multifunctional fabric. For this purpose, thin film-coated, nanoparticle-doped, and chemically treated yarns were used as weft in three different densities. Nine fabric samples and the control sample were woven under industrial conditions. As a result, the surface conductivity of the thin film-coated samples is significantly higher than the others in all the measurement directions. Also, these samples exhibit the best electromagnetic shielding efficiency of up to 64 dB in the 3-43 GHz frequency range. In addition, electromagnetic shielding efficiency reaches 83 dB when the samples are measured in multiple layers. The chemically treated samples exhibited better antibacterial activity, up to 74%. It was determined that the nanoparticle's treatment type, position and density, and the number of fabric layers influence the performance properties.
