In this article, the silver-plated polyamide fabrics (SPPAFs) with high electroconductibility and shielding effectiveness were fabricated by using in situ reduction of polydopamine and chemical silvering. The effects of SPPAFs dopamine (C 8 H 11 O 2 N) and silver nitrate (AgNO 3 ) concentration on surface resistivity and electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness were studied. The results showed that the surface resistivity of SPPAFs can reach a minimum value of 0.06 AE 0.014 Ω cm −1 , when C 8 H 11 O 2 N concentration is 4 g L −1 and the AgNO 3 concentration is 120 g L −1 . The shielding effectiveness of SPPAFs in the wide frequency range of 10-3000 MHz increases with the increase in the concentration of AgNO 3 , and increases first and stabilizes afterward with increasing C 8 H 11 O 2 N concentration. When the concentration of C 8 H 11 O 2 N and AgNO 3 is 3 and 120 g L −1 , respectively, mean shielding effectiveness values in the low-, medium-, and highfrequency bands are 71.3, 73.8, and 76.1 dB, respectively. Moreover, the mean shielding effectiveness values is 83.79 dB in the frequency range of 1.2-2.3 GHz. The dominant shielding mechanism of SPPAFs is the reflected electromagnetic waves and the absorption shielding effectiveness is less than 2 dB. The average electromagnetic shielding values of SPPAFs are above 67 dB after 16 weeks of storage, when C 8 H 11 O 2 N concentration is 4 g L −1 and the AgNO 3 concentration is 80 and 100 g L −1 . The prepared SPPAFs show promising applications in military textiles and smart wearable clothing.
