One of the major components of nanotechnology is Carbon nanotube (CNT) that can have a length-to-diameter ratio more than 1,000,000. They are used in several fields in material science, due to their exceptional electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties, which are anisotropic. Different techniques have been developed to produce CNT. They have good potential for applications in various technological areas such as nanoelectronic, biotechnology, material science, polymer, composite, and textile industries. In this paper, recent researches on application of CNT in textile industry are reviewed. Treatment of textiles with CNT leads to the production of a wide variety of conductive textiles with different electrical properties. The wear performances of fabrics apply with CNT to open the potentiality of producing composite materials for conventional and innovative applications, ranging from conventional apparel and sportswear to protective clothing, heating equipment, automotive textiles, building covering, geo-textiles, biomedical textiles, etc.
