“…Viscose fiber has been widely used in underwear products because of its moisture absorption, air permeability, antistatic, good color fastness, and spinning properties. However, with the development of society, people have a tendency to choose functional fabrics, such as antimicrobial [2], personal cooling [3], or waterproof [4] ones. Therefore, if viscose fabric is endowed with skincare functionality such as antioxidant, skin whitening, moisturizing, etc., its additional value and consumer market will improve significantly in the field of underwear.…”

(1) Background: It is simpler and more environmentally friendly to use supercritical CO2 fluid technology to process skincare viscose fabrics. Therefore, it is significant to study the release properties of drug-loaded viscose fabrics to choose suitable skincare drugs. In this work, the release kinetics model fittings were investigated in order to clarify the release mechanism and provide a theoretical basis for processing skincare viscose fabrics with supercritical CO2 fluid. (2) Methods: Nine kinds of drugs with different substituent groups, different molecular weights, and different substitution positions were loaded onto viscose fabrics using supercritical CO2 fluid. Then, the drug-loaded viscose fabrics were placed in an ethanol medium, and the release curves were drawn. Finally, the release kinetics were fitted using zero-order release kinetics, the first-order kinetics model, the Higuchi model, and the Korsmeyer–Peppas model. (3) Results: The Korsmeyer–Peppas model was the best-fitting model for all the drugs. Drugs with different substituent groups were released via a non-Fickian diffusion mechanism. On the contrary, other drugs were released via a Fickian diffusion mechanism. (4) Conclusions: In view of the release kinetics, it was found that the viscose fabric can swell when a drug with a higher solubility parameter is loaded onto it using supercritical CO2 fluid, and the release rate is also slower.

“…This approach achieved a rapid water evaporation rate (0.36 g/h) and exhibited favorable thermal conductivity (0.105 W/m K), enhancing both the perspiration and heat transfer performance. Chen et al fabricated wettability gradient thin films through electrospinning and incorporated thermally conductive ZnO nanorods into the fibers via in situ polymerization, , resulting in dual-function fabrics that offer both heat dissipation and moisture wicking capabilities. The thermal conductivity can achieve 0.062 W/m K, representing a 90% increase compared to standard cotton fabric, while the water evaporation rate attains 0.18 g/h.…”

Fabric comfort is essential for maintaining both physiological and psychological well-being. The inherent low thermal conductivity and single-layer porous structure of traditional cotton fabrics compromise the body's cooling pathways and moisture management capabilities. Multifunctional fabrics, combining excellent thermal conductivity with superior moisture management, are emerging as potential candidates for the next generation of human thermal management textiles. In this study, a straightforward strategy for preparing dual-function wearable Janus-type fabric is proposed involving electrospinning thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer onto the surface of cellulose cotton fiber and concurrently loading thermally conductive boron nitride nanosheets. The prepared fabric exhibits excellent thermal and moisture management characteristics. It achieves a thermal conductivity of 0.307 W/mK, reducing overall thermal resistance to 10.62 K cm 2 /W. The practical indoor and outdoor tests in winter demonstrate that the surface temperature of the fabric in contact with human skin is 2.9 and 3.1 °C higher than that of the common fabric, suggesting its favorable heat dissipation ability. The construction of a dual wetting gradient allows for directed moisture transport within the fabric, with a water evaporation rate of 0.276 g/h. Additionally, its robust thermal stability and excellent mechanical properties ensure its reliability for prolonged wearable device applications.

In chronic wound management, efficacious handling of exudate and bacterial infections stands as a paramount challenge. Here we introduced a novel biomimetic fabric, inspired by the natural transpiration mechanisms in plants. Uniquely, the fabric combines a commercial polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fabric with asymmetrically grown 1D rutile titanium dioxide (TiO2) micro/nanostructures, emulating critical plant features: hierarchically porous networks and hydrophilic water conduction channels. This structure endows the fabric with exceptional antigravity wicking‐evaporation performance, evidenced by a 780% one‐way transport capability and a 0.75 g h−1 water evaporation rate, which significantly surpasses that of conventional moisture‐wicking textiles. Moreover, the incorporated 1D rutile TiO2 micro/nano‐structures presented solar‐light induced antibacterial activity, crucial for disrupting and eradicating wound biofilms. The biomimetic transpiration fabric has been employed to drain exudate and eradicate biofilms in Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus)‐infected wounds, demonstrating a much faster infection eradication capability compared to clinically common ciprofloxacin irrigation. These findings illuminate the path for developing high‐performance, textile‐based wound dressings, offering efficient clinical platforms to combat biofilms associated with chronic wounds.This article is protected by copyright.
