The properties and light-heating function of a knit prepared by the composite spinning of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and an inorganic ceramic were examined. The CNTs and ceramic were mixed and polymerized in a master batch (MB) and the MB chip was then melt spun to prepare the CNT/ ceramic-composite yarn (LH-Yn) and single-jersey knits (LH-Knit). The properties of the LH-Yn and LH-Knit were compared with those of the regular polyester yarn (PET-Yn) and polyester knit (PET-Knit). The contents of carbon in the CNTs by energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer, scanning electron microscopy, tensile and tear performance, thermal insulation, air permeability (AP), water vapor permeability (WVP), and far-infrared (FIR) emissivity were analyzed. The result showed that the surface temperature of the LH-Knit was much higher than that of the PET-Knit. The measured WVP, AP, and FIR emissivity were also slightly higher in the LH-Knit, but the difference was not significant.

As the distinction between active sportswear and daily casual wear is difficult to verify, the multifunctionality of clothing is becoming an important factor in purchasing products (You & Park, 2007). In order for consumers to accept with the least resistance new clothing technology that will make their lives more convenient, wearable clothing should be manufactured in connection with nanotechnology (NT), which is a high-precision technology. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were discovered incidentally by Ijima of Japan in 1991, while he was analyzing a lump of carbon formed on a carbon cathode through an electric discharge process (Iijima, 1991). In the two decades since, CNTs have been studied extensively; one report on CNTs is published each day on average. On the other hand, the level of research about CNTs is still in the
