“…The work of many researchers demonstrates the importance of wearer comfort, resistance to laundering, and maintaining the functionality of the garment over time [ 14 , 16 , 23 , 31 , 34 , 39 , 40 , 44 ]. There are benefits in avoiding the need for embedded electronics as this adds complexity in terms of washing and powering of devices, especially since energy harvesting capabilities are not ready for use in textile systems yet.…”

Protective textiles used for military applications must fulfill a variety of functional requirements, including durability, resistance to environmental conditions and ballistic threats, all while being comfortable and lightweight. In addition, these textiles must provide camouflage and concealment under various environmental conditions and, thus, a range of wavelengths on the electromagnetic spectrum. Similar requirements may exist for other applications, for instance hunting. With improvements in infrared sensing technology, the focus of protective textile research and development has shifted solely from providing visible camouflage to providing camouflage in the infrared (IR) region. Smart textiles, which can monitor and react to the textile wearer or environmental stimuli, have been applied to protective textiles to improve camouflage in the IR spectral range. This study presents a review of current smart textile technologies for visible and IR signature control of protective textiles, including coloration techniques, chromic materials, conductive polymers, and phase change materials. We propose novel fabrication technology combinations using various microfabrication techniques (e.g., three-dimensional (3D) printing; microfluidics; machine learning) to improve the visible and IR signature management of protective textiles and discuss possible challenges in terms of compatibility with the different textile performance requirements.

With the rapid development of infrared detection and tracking technology, the combat concealment and viability of various military targets are seriously threatened, and the demand for military infrared camouflage is increasingly urgent. Individual combatants, as small moving targets, have the characteristics of small size, strong mobility, complex and changeable background, etc. Their infrared camouflage is more flexible and accurate than the equipment and engineering camouflage. The infrared camouflage textile material is soft and portable, which is the main embodiment of the infrared camouflage technology for individual soldiers. It can be used for infrared camouflage clothing, military tents, sleeping bags, and other equipment. Its research and development have been highly valued by many countries. In this article, details of the working principle, preparation methods, and recent research progress of flexible infrared camouflage textile materials are summarized. First of all, from the military application of infrared technology and the principle of infrared camouflage, the development status of infrared camouflage textile materials is summarized, and the research results of near-infrared and thermal infrared camouflage textile materials are introduced. Secondly, the camouflage conditions and research directions of new multi-band recombination and adaptive infrared camouflage textile materials are discussed. Finally, the challenges and opportunities of the future development of infrared camouflage textile materials, especially adaptive infrared camouflage textile materials, are considered.
