Improving the Performance of Human Body with Far Infra-Red Rays Reflecting Textiles

Abstract

All living organisms are subjected to the natural electromagnetic radiation reaching the earth from the sun. Living organisms experience the beneficial as well as adverse effects of it at all levels, starting from sub-cellular organelles and ending with the whole body. Nowadays, specialty FIR emitting heat lamps and garments made up of filaments (fibers) impregnated with FIR emitting nanoparticles are becoming used to deliver these thermal radiation effects. The Present paper explores the use of FIR in textiles, test method, Present status for far infrared reflecting textiles and global market along with future innovations in the field.
