Shielding fabric

An article for electrical shielding wherein the article is formed at least in part from a fabric which comprises woven, braided or warp knitted yarn which comprises conductive fibers and non-conductive fibers wherein the conductive fibers comprise fibers of carbon, graphite or conductive polymer or comprise non-conductive fibers which are plated, coated or impregnated with a conductive material and wherein the conductive fibers comprise between about 10% and about 80% by weight of the fabric.

An assembly comprising a substrate and a fabric in shielding relationship therewith wherein the fabric is woven, braided or warp knitted from yarns which comprise conductive and non-conductive fibers and non-conductive fibers wherein the conductive fibers comprise fibers of carbon, graphite or conductive polymer or comprise non-conductive fibers which are plated, coated or impregnated with a conductive material and wherein the conductive fibers comprises between about 10% and about 80% by weight of the fabric.

A method of making fabric for electrical shielding which comprises weaving, braiding or warp knitting yarns which comprise conductive fibers and non-conductive fibers wherein the conductive fibers comprise fibers of carbon, graphite or conductive polymer or comprise non-conductive fibers which are plated, coated or impregnated with a conductive material and wherein the conductive fibers comprise between about 10% and about 80% by weight of the fabric.

A method of electrically shielding a substrate which comprises placing in shielding relationship with the substrate a fabric which is woven, braided or warp knitted from yarns which comprise conductive fibers and non-conductive fibers wherein the conductive fibers comprise fibers of carbon, graphite or conductive polymer or comprise non-conductive fibers which are plated, coated or impregnated with a conductive material and wherein the conductive fibers comprise between about 10% and about 80% by weight of the fabric.
