“…Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding fabrics have drawn more and more attention because electromagnetic (EM) radiation pollution is becoming a serious public health problem, especially for persons exposed to EM fields for a long time or those sensitive to EM radiation, such as pregnant women and young children, with the widespread use of cell phones, computers, and other electronic apparatuses, such as microwave ovens, TV sets, and refrigerators. To shield EM radiation, various metals, ferrites, and conductive polymers, including copper, silver, stainless steel, carbonyl iron, polypyrrole, and polyaniline, have been used in fabrics to obtain high EMI shielding efficiencies (SEs). Nevertheless, when either metal or conducting polymers are used, the EM power is most likely realized by a reflection mechanism, and this, consequently, causes secondary radiation in the environment.…”
