Abstract
People have increasingly rising health consciousness in recent years and researchers are thus devoted themselves to develop multi-functional textile products. In this study, stainless steel (SS) filaments are used for electromagnetic shielding effectiveness (EMSE) while polypropylene (PP) filaments are used for ultraviolet resistance and good mechanical properties. Spinning and weaving continuous formation techniques are employed to produce wrapped yarns with SS and PP filaments, after which a weaving process is employed for the preparation of SS/PP woven fabrics. The woven fabrics are tested for EMSE and UV resistance, examining the effect of the lamination-layer numbers and lamination-layer angles. Test results show that the optimal EMSE and UV resistance occur when SS/PP woven fabrics are laminated with two layers at 90 °. Not only focus on the mechanical performance, the proposed woven fabrics with good EMSE, UV resistance, and a light weight, and are good candidate for a variety of application as required. The proposed UV resistance and EMSE woven fabrics significantly increase the additional values of traditional textiles.
