“…[ 60 ] Recently, there has been revived interest in the field of IR radiative cooling thanks to remarkable progress in the development of advanced nanoscience and nanofabrication technology. [ 23,61 ] Kirchhoff's law of thermal radiation indicates that the thermal radiation properties of objects can be manipulated by endowing advanced functional materials with sophisticated hierarchal nanoarchitectures. [ 62 ] As a result, many different traditional materials with well‐designed nanostructures have been put forward for use in IR radiative cooling.…”

“…In the future, development of smart IR radiative cooling systems for advanced thermal management according to ambient temperature or weather conditions is expected, which can be employed in energy‐efficient green buildings or smart fabrics and enter thousands of households. [ 23,194 ] In a hot environment, these systems will maximize the solar reflectance and the thermal radiation of IR in the atmospheric transparency window to improve indoor cooling, but can reduce heat dissipation and enhance light absorption in a cold environment to achieve improvements in heat retention; in other words, real on‐demand thermal management. [ 74,75 ] Third, NIR light has shown great potential in biotechnologies due to its deep penetration into biological tissue, but the long‐term safety of many NIR photoactive nanomaterials is still doubtful since they have low short‐term cytotoxicity in vivo and could accumulate in tissues after administration.…”

Infrared (IR) adaptation phenomena are ubiquitous in nature and biological systems. Taking inspiration from natural creatures, researchers have devoted extensive efforts for developing advanced IR adaptive materials and exploring their applications in areas of smart camouflage, thermal energy management, biomedical science, and many other IR‐related technological fields. Herein, an up‐to‐date review is provided on the recent advancements of bioinspired IR adaptive materials and their promising applications. First an overview of IR adaptation in nature and advanced artificial IR technologies is presented. Recent endeavors are then introduced toward developing bioinspired adaptive materials for IR camouflage and IR radiative cooling. According to the Stefan‐Boltzmann law, IR camouflage can be realized by either emissivity engineering or thermal cloaks. IR radiative cooling can maximize the thermal radiation of an object through an IR atmospheric transparency window, and thus holds great potential for use in energy‐efficient green buildings and smart personal thermal management systems. Recent advances in bioinspired adaptive materials for emerging near‐IR (NIR) applications are also discussed, including NIR‐triggered biological technologies, NIR light‐fueled soft robotics, and NIR light‐driven supramolecular nanosystems. This review concludes with a perspective on the challenges and opportunities for the future development of bioinspired IR adaptive materials.

Air-filtering masks, also known as respirators, protect wearers from inhaling fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) in polluted air, as well as airborne pathogens during a pandemic, such as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Fibrous medium, used as the filtration layer, is the most essential component of an air-filtering mask. This article presents an overview of the development of fibrous media for air filtration. We first synthesize the literature on several key factors that affect the filtration performance of fibrous media. We then concentrate on two major techniques for fabricating fibrous media, namely, meltblown and electrospinning. In addition, we underscore the importance of electret filters by reviewing various methods for imparting electrostatic charge on fibrous media. Finally, this article concludes with a perspective on the emerging research opportunities amid the COVID-19 crisis.

“…5 Limiting the risk of such health problems requires not only hygienic care but also ensuring appropriate conditions between the body and the substrate material (suitable temperature, moisture, and air transport). 6,7 The significant issue is to use appropriate seats/mattresses that ensure the lowest and most evenly distributed pressure 8 as well as transport of air, moisture, and heat. 9,10 In the design of seats and mattresses, durable advanced textile and composite materials with additional functionality to improve safety and comfort should be used.…”

A long-term static position causes inter alia hypoxia, poor blood circulation, slowing down of the metabolism, and problems in air and heat transport, which in consequence lead to the occurrence of bedsores. In the design of seats and mattresses for people with impaired mobility, advanced textile and composite materials should be used to improve safety and comfort. This functionality can be obtained using spatial textile materials. The aim of the research was to assess the impact of two unmodified woven relief structures I.0 and II.0 made of different yarns and ones modified by inserting linear elements (1: braided round tape and 2: polyethylene tube) to their rib tunnel on the heat transport and on the pressure distribution under loading of 0.5, 1, and 2 N. Element 1 lowers the value of average pressure on the fabrics I.1 and II.1, respectively, by 6.9% and 3.5% at the lowest loading and by 9.8% and 4.6% at the highest loading. For fabric II.2 with element 2, the decrease is of 10.4% and 8.4%, respectively. The thermal conductivity values increase by 8.8%, 9.4%, and 40.1%, respectively for I.1, II.1, and II.2. The pressure distribution and thermal characteristic of the fabrics depend on the type of yarn, the structure of ribs, and the linear element and its fit to the rib tunnel.
