Abstract

In this
study, electromagnetic shielding and solar properties of woven fabrics which
were produced barium titanate/polyester bicomponent yarns were investigated. 1,
2 and 3% additive ratios of barium titanate and three different fabric
structures (1/1 plain, sateen and special weave) were used in the experiments.
The effect of additive ratio and the fabric structure on electromagnetic
shielding properties were evaluated. Electromagnetic Shielding Effectiveness
(EMSE) of the woven fabrics was determined according to the ASTM D4935-10
standard by using coaxial transmission line measurement technique in the
frequency range of 15–3000 MHz. The fabric with the highest content of the
barium titanate (3%) and special weave showed the highest shielding
effectiveness, reaching 13.96 dB at 15 MHz. The solar properties were measured
according to EN14500 using a UV/VIS/NIR spectrophotometer and results were calculated
according to EN 410 standard. The reflectance values of barium titanate added
polyester fabrics increased and the transmittance values decreased.
