USE OF METALLIZED TEXTILE SURFACES AS PROTECTION FROM MICROWAVE RADIATION

Metallized sheet-form textiles of synthetic polymers or natural fibres to which a metal layer has been applied by wet-chemical currentless deposition are particularly suitable for screening electromagnetic waves in the range from 10 MHz to 1000 GHz. Since the textile properties are substantially unaffected by the metallization, the sheet-form textiles are particularly suitable for use in the medical and communications fields. A multiple-layer construction with insulating intermediate layers and surface linings may be useful, for example in the screening of relatively low frequencies.
