Because of the military aggression of the Russian Federation, the problem of protecting both the military and the civilian population from electromagnetic radiation (EMR) is becoming especially relevant for Ukraine. A wide range of research in the creating protective textile shields has shown their effectiveness not only for shielding the room and equipment, but also for creating comfortable clothing with a high degree of protection. Within this work, new knitted materials for shielding against EMR were developed using stainless steel wire as a conductive element and cotton yarn as ground. All developed materials have SE around 8 – 10 dB for 1.5 GHz frequency.
