Abstract
In this paper, a review of the development of infrared radiation materials and preparation methods in the field of functional textiles is conducted, focused on the introduction of technologies used for the development and preparation of infrared radiation functional textiles. Four kinds of functional textiles with far-infrared, infrared radiation refrigeration, infrared radiation heat preservation and infrared radiation heat regulation separately are emphasized. On this basis, the prospects of development and application of infrared radiation materials in the field of textile and clothing are discussed.
