In this paper, electroless composite plating of (Ni-P)-SiO2 nanoparticles on PET fabric was operated in order
to obtain a high electromagnetic interference shielding efficiency and the wear resistance for special clothing. The (Ni-
P)-SiO2 composite plated fabrics were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive
spectroscopy (EDS), thermal gravimetric (TG) analysis and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The electromagnetic
shielding performance and abrasion resistance were also measured. The results show that the onset decomposition
temperature of the Ni-P plated fabric is higher than that of the (Ni-P)-SiO2 composite plated fabric, but lower than that
of the original one. The face-centred cube crystal structure of Ni-P deposition is formed because of the incorporation of
nano SiO2 particles. When the weight increasing percentages are identical, the shielding effectiveness (SE) of the (Ni-P)
-SiO2 composite plated fabric is slightly larger than that of the Ni-P plated fabric. For the (Ni-P)-SiO2 composite plated
fabric, the add-ons of nano SiO2 particles has little effect on the shielding effectiveness. The abrasion resistance of the
(Ni-P)-SiO2 composite plated fabric is much improved.
