The usage of textile surfaces is increasing across various sectors such as clothing, home textiles, health, and technical applications. Textile surfaces are expected to exhibit specific functional properties depending on their intended use, including antibacterial qualities, water and oil repellency, flame retardancy, and easy cleaning. Moreover, with the advancement of technology and communication, the use of intense electromagnetic waves in living environments is on the rise. Electromagnetic waves are now crucial in communication, robotics, autonomous systems, data transfer, and numerous other fields. Prolonged exposure to these waves has been linked to various health issues. Consequently, contemporary textile surfaces are expected to incorporate multifunctional features to mitigate these potential negative effects. This study produced multifunctional fabrics with electromagnetic shielding, water/oil repellency, and flame retardancy. Conductive yarn with 60-micron steel wire provided electromagnetic shielding. Fabrics with varying densities were woven using conductive yarns, treated with water/oil repellent and flame retardant chemicals. EMSE values were measured from 15 MHz to 3000 MHz per ASTM D4935. Fabrics underwent testing for water/oil repellency (AATCC 193, 118) and flame retardancy (BS 5852), alongside physical property evaluations.
