The introduction of nanomaterials
(NMs) to a fibrous substrate
has expanded the spectrum of its applications to various fields of
life such as construction, medicine, protection, and energy. These
promising outcomes are driving scientists to further explore this
area from various aspects, including the introduction of different
classes of NMs, their application through numerous approaches, and
the potential achievement of various properties. A diamond nanoparticle
is a biocompatible material with extraordinary thermal, mechanical,
chemical, and optical properties. Nanodiamond (ND) has been extensively
studied for its composites with polymers, fabrication, properties,
and applications. It was attempted to combine ND with fibrous materials
in nanofiber, fiber, filaments, yarns, and fabric, which opened up
a new potential application area of ND in textiles. The fabrication,
surface characterization, properties, and application of ND with various
forms of fibrous materials are outlined in this review, which could
be useful for paving the way for researchers to take some advanced
steps in this respect.
