Construction Strategy for Flexible and Breathable SiO₂/Al/NFs/PET Composite Fabrics with Dual Shielding against Microwave and Infrared-Thermal Radiations for Wearable Protective Clothing.

ABSTRACT: Microwave and infrared-thermal radiation-compatible shielding fabrics represent an important direction in the development of wearable protective fabrics. Nevertheless, effectively and conveniently integrating compatible shielding functions into fabrics while maintaining breathability and moisture permeability remains a significant challenge. Here, we take hydrophilic PVA-co-PE nanofibrous film-coated PET fabric (NFs/PET) as a flexible substrate and deposit a dielectric/conductive (SiO₂/Al) bilayer film via magnetron sputtering. This strategy endows the fabric surface with high electrical conductivity, nanoscale roughness comparable to visible and infrared waves, and a dielectric-metal contact interface possessing localized plasmon resonance and Mie scattering effects.
