Biography

Lieva Van Langenhove received the degree in textile engineering from Ghent University, Ghent, Belgium, in 1984, and the Ph.D. degree in yarn modeling from the Textile Department, Ghent University, in 1994.,She began her career at the Research Department, UCO, a Belgian textile company. Five years later, she joined the Textile Department, Ghent University, where she became a Professor in 1997. Her main field of expertise is the mechanics of fiber structures. In 2000, she began researching smart textiles, initially for medical applications. The basic research targets conductivity-based smart textile components for monitoring, actuation, communication, and energy supply.

Shielding the Electromagnetic Waves by Inserting Conductive Lightweight Materials into Woven Curtains

This preliminary study presents screening curtains made of electro-conductive yarns introduced into woven structures, which provide similar screening abilities as those offered by commercially available metallic plates. The curtains have a major advantage of being flexible so that they are easier to install and to remove. In order to provide a lightweight solution to compare the existing solutions present at the market, one proposes using (1) a carbon yarn (200 tex) and (2) a nickel-coated carbon yarn (1420 tex) as wefts in the woven structures responsible for conducting. The fabrics were separately tested in the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) anechoic room, which is non-reflective and echo-free laboratory chamber. Transmitting and receiving antennas we... view more»
