Propensity of a textile material to evaporate moisture from its surface, commonly referred to as the ‘moisture management’ ability, is an important characteristic that dictates the applicability of a given textile material in the activewear garment industry. Here, an infrared absorbing nanoparticle impregnated self-heating (IRANISH) fabric is developed by impregnating tin-doped indium oxide (ITO) nanoparticles into a polyester fabric through a facile high-pressure dyeing approach. It is observed that under simulated solar radiation, the impregnated ITO nanoparticles can absorb IR radiation, which is effectively transferred as thermal energy to any moisture present on the fabric. This transfer of thermal energy facilitates the enhanced evaporation of moisture from the IRANISH fabric surface and as per experimental findings, a 54 ± 9% increase in the intrinsic drying rate is observed for IRANISH fabrics compared with control polyester fabrics that are treated under identical conditions, but in the absence of nanoparticles. Approach developed here for improved moisture management via the incorporation of IR absorbing nanomaterials into a textile material is novel, facile, efficient and applicable at any stage of garment manufacture. Hence, it allows us to effectively overcome the limitations faced by existing yarn-level and structural strategies for improved moisture management.

纺织材料从其表面蒸发水分的倾向（通常称为“水分管理”能力）是决定给定纺织材料在运动服服装行业中的适用性的重要特征。在此，通过将锡掺杂的氧化铟（ITO）纳米粒子通过一种简便的高压染色方法浸渍到聚酯织物中，从而开发了一种红外吸收的纳米粒子浸渍自加热（IRANISH）织物。观察到，在模拟的太阳辐射下，浸渍的ITO纳米颗粒可以吸收IR辐射，该IR辐射作为热能有效地转移到织物上存在的任何水分中。根据实验发现，这种热能传递促进了水分从伊朗织物表面的蒸发增加，与在相同条件下但没有纳米颗粒的情况下处理的对比聚酯织物相比，伊朗织物的固有干燥速率提高了54±9％。此处开发的通过将红外吸收纳米材料掺入到纺织品材料中来改善水分管理的方法是新颖，便捷，高效且可应用于服装制造的任何阶段。因此，它使我们能够有效克服现有纱线水平和结构策略所面临的局限性，以改善湿度管理。此处开发的通过将红外吸收纳米材料掺入到纺织品材料中来改善水分管理的方法是新颖，便捷，高效且可应用于服装制造的任何阶段。因此，它使我们能够有效克服现有纱线水平和结构策略所面临的局限性，以改善湿度管理。此处开发的通过将红外吸收纳米材料掺入到纺织品材料中来改善水分管理的方法是新颖，便捷，高效且可应用于服装制造的任何阶段。因此，它使我们能够有效克服现有纱线水平和结构策略所面临的局限性，以改善湿度管理。
