Vijaya Saradhi Dommeti and Dharma Raj Cheruku

Abstract: Background and Objective: Phenomenal rise in the electromagnetic radiation levels is driving the need for exploring contemporary solutions towards shielding from electromagnetic radiation. Protective gears like electromagnetic shielding aprons are in need to refine their structure and blend to achieve effective shielding from radiation. The CNTs are considered as one of the effective polymer solution for electromagnetic shielding. However, the limitations of attenuation levels of CNT polymer composite considered in this manuscript. The objective of this study was to explore the scope of applying aluminium coat over CNT polymer composite and develop more effective shielding solution of protective aprons. Materials and Methods: The research method adapted is to gather inputs on the CNT polymer composite oriented apparel solutions, using the empirical analysis. Considering the scope for improving the attenuation levels of CNT, an experimental study of applying an aluminum coat over the CNT polymer composites was carried out. Attenuation property of the materials (CNT polymer) was evaluated using Beer Lambert Law. Results of the aluminum coat over CNT were discussed as results and outcome of the experimental study. Results: Results from the experimental studies reflect that the mass attenuation levels of CNT can be very resourceful for improved shielding capacities. It was also imperative that the mass attenuation levels of CNT polymer can be improved in apparel with the coat of aluminum, which can improve the shielding effect. Conclusion: It was concluded that CNT polymers are resourceful solutions for EM shielding and with the usage of aluminium coat over CNT polymer, the quality of shielding can be improved to higher levels.
