Industrialization and human activities have introduced numerous hazards, including exposure to harsh chemicals, radiation, static electricity, and fire risks, particularly in high‐risk sectors such as engineering, rescue operations, military, and aerospace. This study presents a multi‐functional protective textile developed from a conductive fiber composed of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and carbon nanotubes (CNT), crucial for ensuring personal safety. The conductive fiber demonstrates remarkable strength (17.3 MPa), high porosity (76%), and significant electrical conductivity (185 S m−1), coupled with excellent fineness and flexibility due to its dual‐nanofibrous structure. The resulting textile exhibits exceptional hydrophobicity, chemical resistance, and high electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness (29 dB in the X‐band), alongside a superior UV protective factor (>3000) and anti‐static properties. Notably, it possesses outstanding electro/photo thermal conversion capabilities, enabling consistent heat generation for personal warmth. Additionally, the textile responds electrically to deformation and temperature changes, facilitating intelligent applications such as motion and temperature monitoring and fire alerts. This work offers a novel strategy for fabricating PTFE‐based composite fibers with porous microstructures and high electrical conductivity, setting a new standard for next‐generation protective clothing with advanced functionalities.

The development of high‐performance ultra‐high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber laminate is of great significance in the field of bulletproof materials. However, due to the poor heat resistance of UHMWPE fibers, it is challenging to achieve exceptional mechanical properties in laminates prepared via hot‐pressing. In this study, we employ a self‐made ultraviolet (UV) cross‐linked fully drawn yarn of UHMWPE (UVFDY), which exhibits excellent heat resistance, to prepare a UVFDY/unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) laminate through hot‐pressing. The laminate possesses outstanding mechanical properties, which includes high Barcol hardness (~40 HBa), high tensile strength (~800 MPa), and high storage modulus (~13.7 GPa at 25°C), surpassing those of most conventional UHMWPE fiber laminates. Its remarkable mechanical properties are primarily attributed to the highly cross‐linked networks of cured UPR and the stable structures (gel content ~89%, crystallinity ~81.5%, orientation ~93%, and smoother fiber surface) of UVFDY during hot‐pressing. This work not only provides valuable insights into the preparation of high‐performance UHMWPE fiber laminates but also promotes applications for the self‐made UV cross‐linked UHMWPE fiber.Highlights Novel laminate possesses high Barcol hardness. The tensile strength and storage modulus of novel laminate are excellent. UV irradiated fiber with high structural stability during hot‐pressing.
