The current application status and existing problems of nanomaterials were reviewed in the textile field.And the fu-ture development direction was prospected.Nanomaterials are widely used in the textile field.By combining nanomaterials with special functions with textile raw materials,fabrics with various functions can be prepared,such as antibacterial,water and oil repellent,ultraviolet resistant,anti-static,etc.However,there are also some problems in application,such as safety,stability,sustainability and environmental friendliness,operability and cost,as well as the recyclability of textiles.In the future,the appli-cation development trend and research direction of nanomaterials in textiles mainly include the application of new materials and technologies,the development of environmentally friendly nanomaterials and application technologies,the operability improvement of application technologies and cost reduction.
