Germany successfully develops anti-electromagnetic and anti-irradiation textiles

According to reports, the idea of ​​shielding electromagnetic radiation from surrounding cell phone towers by sitting beside the roller blind shielding the solar radiation in the summer is now being translated into reality by German researchers. Scientists at the Hohenstein Institute in Germany and experts from the German Institute of Textile Technology and Chemical Fibers (ITCF) have developed textiles that combine both protection against electromagnetic radiation and infrared radiation.

The chemical fibers that make up the textile are covered with indium tin oxide (ITO), a transparent oxide composite that is used in smart phone touch screens. The Hohenstein Institute's experiments show that the textiles are resistant to washing, abrasion and weathering, and do not harm the environment and the human body.

According to the Hohenstein Institute, as of now, functional textiles only have the function of intercepting electronic smoke emitted by electronic devices, or blocking heat radiation caused by fire or dense solar radiation. Dr. Edith Classen, head of the project, said: "This new type of textile can not only effectively shield radiation, but also prevent static electricity. It is an ideal personal protective equipment choice for firefighting, foundry and welding shop, semiconductor industry, and telecommunication system security sector employees. ”

It is reported that this textile material will be further developed for use by **.
