MXene-coated fabric could contain electronic interference in wearable devices Coating standard cotton or linen fabric with a solution of MXene material can imbue it with substantial electromagnetic shielding capabilities, according to new research from Drexel University. CREDIT Drexel University Abstract: 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. Faraday fabrics?
