“…Electrospinning allows manufacturing of nanofibers ( Figure 9 ) mainly from polymer materials of both synthetic and natural origins [ 41 ]. The prosperity of different electrospun nanofibrous and non-woven architectures is exceedingly wide and it has been clear that highly fine fibers with diameters as low as few nanometers can be produced via electrospinning.…”

Textile manufacturing has been one of the highest polluting industrial sectors. It represents about one-fifth of worldwide industrial water pollution. It uses a huge number of chemicals, numerous of which are carcinogenic. The textile industry releases many harmful chemicals, such as heavy metals and formaldehyde, into water streams and soil, as well as toxic gases such as suspended particulate matter and sulphur dioxide to air. These hazardous wastes, may cause diseases and severe problems to human health such as respiratory and heart diseases. Pollution caused by the worldwide textile manufacturing units results in unimaginable harm, such as textile polymers, auxiliaries and dyes, to the environment. This review presents a systematic and comprehensive survey of all recently produced high-performance textiles; and will therefore assist a deeper understanding of technical textiles providing a bridge between manufacturer and end-user. Moreover, the achievements in advanced applications of textile material will be extensively studied. Many classes of technical textiles were proved in a variety of applications of different fields. The introductory material- and process-correlated identifications regarding raw materials and their transformation into yarns, fibers and fabrics followed by dyeing, printing, finishing of technical textiles and their further processing will be explored. Thus, the environmental impacts of technical textiles on soil, air and water are discussed.

“…It is highly attractive to produce electrospun fibers with good mechanical performance by tailoring the fiber structure at multiscale (from nanoscale to microscale) [ 177 ]. The main limitations of electrospun lignin-based fibers are low yield, low strength, and fiber fusion during the spinning process.…”

As a major component of lignocellulosic biomass, lignin is one of the largest natural resources of biopolymers and, thus, an abundant and renewable raw material for products, such as high-performance fibers for industrial applications. Direct conversion of lignin has long been investigated, but the fiber spinning process for lignin is difficult and the obtained fibers exhibit unsatisfactory mechanical performance mainly due to the amorphous chemical structure, low molecular weight of lignin, and broad molecular weight distribution. Therefore, different textile spinning techniques, modifications of lignin, and incorporation of lignin into polymers have been and are being developed to increase lignin’s spinnability and compatibility with existing materials to yield fibers with better mechanical performance. This review presents the latest advances in the textile fabrication techniques, modified lignin-based high-performance fibers, and their potential in the enhancement of the mechanical performance.

“…Polymer yarns, threads, fabrics, and textiles are common living goods in human beings’ daily life, which either fabricated from natural fibers ( e. g ., cotton, wool, silk) or synthetic polymer fibers ( e. g ., polyester, nylon) by textile technologies such as twisting, weaving, and knitting [57] . The yarns/threads are 1D twisted fiber bundles, while the fabrics/textiles are 2D sheets composing of yarns/threads, both of them have a highly porous structure and excellent mechanical flexibility.…”

The rise of portable and wearable electronics has largely stimulated the development of flexible energy storage and conversion devices. As one of the essential parts, the electrode plays critical role in determining the device performance, which required to be highly flexible, light‐weight, and conformable for flexible and wearable applications. However, it remains a formidable challenge in the design of appropriate flexible electrodes. Thus, considerable effort has been making to develop various flexible materials/substrates to fabricate flexible energy devices. Here, this review aims to provide a comprehensive survey on the recently developed free‐standing and flexible electrode materials/substrates for flexible electrochemical energy storage devices, which are categorized into four different types including metal‐based, carbon‐based, polymer‐based, and micro‐patterned flexible electrodes. The specific characteristics, fabrication methods, properties, and pros and cons of each type of materials are thoroughly analysed. Furthermore, challenges and future directions for designing flexible electrode materials are also discussed.
