Electromagnetic Interference Shielding of Metal Coated Ultrathin Nonwoven Fabrics and Their Factorial Design

Original language description

The Copper/Nickel coated 100% polyester ultrathin nonwoven fabric was taken in this study. For reference purposes, the single-layer and two-layer fabric samples were tested for EM SE and it exhibits 53 and 73 dB at 1.5 GHz frequency and graded as ‘very good’ according to the general requirement [35]. All the single layer strips samples (SL) and two-layer strips (TL) laid at 0° angle samples had the EM SE of less than 12.5 and 9 dB respectively at 1.5 GHz frequency. Among TL samples, TL390 exhibits the highest SE of 42 dB at 1.5 GHz frequency. The EM SE (at 1.5 GHz frequency) is increasing with an increase in percent strips cover area (Ac) for the TL samples; A linear correlation between Ac and EM SE has been found (0.98 ≤ R2 ≤ 1). A maximum Ac of 93.75% for TL3 series samples and recorded the highest SE value. An increase in area per aperture (Aa) of the TL samples has decreased in EM SE value; An exponential relationship of Aa and EM SE was found (0.87 ≤ R2 ≤ 0.91). The TL945, TL960, and TL990 samples have Ac of 75% but Aa of 114, 93, and 81 mm2 which has EM SE of 22, 23, and 28 dB respectively at 1.5 GHz frequency. So, the decrease in SE for the same Ac of samples is because of the decrease in Aa. The influence of percent cover area and area per aperture parameters has a significant effect on EM SE results. The screening factorial design (SFD) model from the design of experiment (DoE) technique is used for the analysis of factors having a significant effect on EM SE at 1.5 GHz frequency. The three main factors are thickness (A), gap (B), and laid angle (C) of the strips at three levels were used for DoE analysis. The SFD model has 13 base runs and 39 total runs in the experiment. In ANOVA, the significant effect of SE on factors was calculated with reference to P-value. Good predictability of EM SE with the regression equation model of factors was found (R2 = 0.92). The factors which are A, B, and C has a significant effect on the SE value has found in the Pareto chart; In a normal probability plot, it found that the factors A, and C has positive significant effect and factor B has negative significant effect on SE value. The main effect plot fits confirms that the SE value was increased with an increase in factor A, decreases with increases in factor B, and decreases initially then increases with increases in factor C. The best SE value with respect to factors interaction was found in the interaction plot, the highest SE of 38 dB was found in the interaction of higher C (i.e., 90°) and a lower B (i.e., 3 mm). Hence, the higher percent cover area and lower area per aperture structure have been recommended for achieving higher EM SE. DoE is concluded that the combination of the larger strip thickness, the lower gap between the strips, and the higher laid angle of strips has an excellent EM SE. This model could be helpful to construct the optimal fabric or composite structures based on the required level of shielding for electromagnetic shielding application.
