Abstract :
In this paper a new yarn able to shield electromagnetic waves is presented. This yarn was used to manufacture different fabrics with identical texture and properties to woven fabric made with conventional yarns. The measures for check the electromagnetic waves shielding effectiveness (EMSE) have been made within a semi-anechoic chamber. The results show excellent shielding properties above 30 dB in the frequency range from 800 MHz to 4 GHz.
