AB  - In this study, it was aimed to determine electromagnetic shielding effectiveness, antibacterial activity, surface resistivityand bending rigidity properties of 1×1 rib knitted fabrics. For this purpose, copper (Cu), stainless steel (SS) and silver(Ag) wires were commingled with two nylon filaments to produce metal composite yarns. 1×1 rib fabrics were producedby these composite yarns. Electromagnetic shielding effectiveness (EMSE), antibacterial activity, surface resistivity andbending  rigidity  of  the  composite  knits  were  measured.  Electromagnetic  shielding  measurements  of  samples  wereconducted  between  1.0–5.0  GHz  frequency. Antibacterial  activity  test  was  applied  according  to AATCC  100  standardagainst K. pneumoniae and S. aureus bacteria. Results showed that knitted fabrics generally have lower SE values than10 dB at wale direction. The double layer samples provide higher EMSE than single layer samples for all metal types.Maximum  EMSE  value  was  obtained  as  57.12  dB.  The  use  of  metal  wire  significantly  reduced  surface  resistivity  ofknitted fabrics. Copper composite knitted fabrics showed 99 % antibacterial activity against both bacterial species. Whencompared to the control sample, the use of metal wire significantly increased the rigidity of the samples.
