Faraday Fabrics? MXene-coated fabric could contain Electronic Interference in Wearable Devices

Adding a coating of MXene to cotton or linen fabrics gives them the ability to block electromagnetic interference, according to new research out of Drexel’s College of Engineering.

Researchers at Drexel University’s College of Engineering have reported that fabric coated with a conductive, two-dimensional material called MXene, is highly effective at blocking electromagnetic waves and potentially harmful radiation. The discovery is a key development for efforts to weave technological capabilities into clothing and accessories.

Materials that block electromagnetic waves had a commercial moment a handful of years ago when fears that high-tech thieves could scan or copy credit cards, passports or hack into laptops and contactless car keys had people putting them in special wallets, bag...
