Abstract

In this research, an original rotor twister machine, with a speed of 8000 rpm, spun complex ply yarns from recycled polypropylene nonwoven selvage (PPNS) and various metal wires. The core yarn was pieces of 30 g/m2 recycled PPNS and the wrap yarns were 80 μm stainless steel wires. Furthermore, 80 μm stainless steel wires and 80 μm copper wires, parallel to the core yarns, reinforced the complex ply yarns. Yarns were manufactured with wrap numbers of 0.5, 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, and 4.5 turns/cm. Complex fabrics were woven with the complex ply yarns as the weft yarns and PVC-coated PET filaments as the warp yarns. These fabrics were evaluated for surface resistivity and electromagnetic shielding effectiveness (EMSE). The presence of copper reinforcement wires was found to lower the surface resistivity of the fabrics. The lowest surface resistivity was recorded for a fabric woven from yarns with a wrap number of 4.5 turns/cm; that surface resistivity was 28.7 Ω/sq. EMSE measurements showed that fabrics with varied lamination angles provided good electromagnetic shielding. The optimum EMSE measured in this research was 56.1 dB on incident frequency as 2.36 GHz, for a fabric with 0°/90°/0°/90°/0°/90° lamination angles.
