ABSTRACT
The need to use electromagnetic radiation in clinical practices indicates the defense from the electromagnetic radiation itself which have a destructive impact on the human tissue and brain. Therefore, the wearable aprons as electromagnetic shields are the protective gears required to enhance their blend and structure to attain effective shielding. The aprons that are made of textile materials are widely considering protecting from electromagnetic radiation. In this context, conventional textile-materials are not appropriate, but their adaptations, which are in the form of composites, are utilized.
The contemporary literature contributed by the recent past research works has several methods of making textile electromagnetic radiation shield.
Recent innovations of conductive polymer application in electromagnetic radiation shielding were considered.
The treating of textile materials by conductive polymer displayed higher electrical property in the form of electromagnetic radiation shield. Protective mechanisms such as aprons of electromagnetic radiation shielding are essential for enhancing their blend and structure to attain effective radiation shielding. The carbon nanotube is deliberated as a productive polymer result for the electromagnetic radiation shielding.
The review experiment aimed to discuss the possibility of using a graphene coat on the polymer composite of carbon nanotube and to improve the practical solution for shielding the protective aprons. The confines of a polymer composite of carbon nanotube attenuation stages are deliberated in this article.
Keywords: Carbon Nanotube, Electromagnetic Radiation, Graphene.
