Article Synopsis
- Far infrared radiation (FIR) between 4-14 μm can benefit human health by improving blood flow, leading to the development of health-promoting textiles using FIR-emitting additives in polymer fabrics.
- The study focused on biochar from candlenuts combined with activated carbon in polypropylene films, finding that its inclusion increased FIR emissivity and enhanced UV/NIR blocking capabilities.
- Biochar significantly improved temperature retention and tensile strength of the fibers, suggesting its potential for use in warming clothing and longer-lasting materials compared to other common additives.
