Application of Graphene Materials in the Textile Field

Graphene material is a new type of material with a two-dimensional planar nanostructure, which has been applied in multiple research fields due to its excellent optoelectrical and mechanical properties. This paper compares the differences between graphene materials and traditional materials through literature review; summarizes the research status of graphene-modified cellulose fibers, chemical fibers, and protein fibers in the textile field; and provides examples of the cutting-edge applications of graphene materials in smart textiles and functional textile products. The performance summary includes conductivity, UV resistance, bulletproofing, antibacterial properties, thermal insulation, etc. Combining graphene with textile materials can expand its application range in the civilian field, especially in high-performance fibers, new functional textiles, and smart textiles, where it has broad application prospects.
