Abstract

This chapter presents a synthesis of special composite textile and graphite materials applications in the protection against electromagnetic non-ionizing radiation.

Several theoretical notions regarding the electromagnetic shielding mechanisms and the propagation of electromagnetic waves in conductive media are presented. Studies regarding the shielding properties of several types of graphite screens, by means of finite element method software are also presented. Highlighted are the effects of the screen’s width, the aperture size, and the incident wave polarization on the screen’s shielding effectiveness. Experimental results of the shielding properties of graphite screens also shown here, for screens which are made of graphite strips as well as for graphite impregnated textiles.

The current achievements of protective materials considering the technology used in communications and data transmission are described but also the prospective trends given the transition to 5G technology with promising perspectives in the field of communication using the terahertz domain.
