Electromagnetic absorbers obtained by use of textile pyramidal structures functionalizated with

carbon nanoparticles
Abstract
The project proposes a new concept of composite fabrics to be used for manufacturing
electromagnetic absorbers with superior absorbtion rate compared with the current
structures.

Description of Projectidea
The composite absorber will be made as a pyrami dal textile structure whose
functionalization with carbon nanoparticles will be achieved by use of dielectrophoresi s.
The pyramidal absorber will be knitted with conductive composite fibres. Therefore, the
proposed functionalization technique consist in the repl acement of one of the active
electrodes with the absorber subject to functionalization.
The new structure of composite fabric can de achieved in a single technological process,
which ensures low manufacturing costs (integral knitting), low specifi c weight and high
malleability (functionalized composite yarns/fi bres) and a high absorbtion rate.
