Shielding effectiveness of conducting polyaniline coated fabrics at 101 GHz

Conducting polyaniline coated fabrics can be used as a shield material for the control of electromagnetic interference at 101 GHz. The conducting fabrics can also be used for the dissipation of electrostatic charge. The conducting fabric shows a shielding effectiveness of 35.61 dB. The characterization of the conducting polymer polyaniline and conducting fabrics was carried by spectroscopic techniques and thermogravimetric analysis. Static charge measurements of the conducting fabrics show a complete removal of static charge. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
