In the industry of textiles, the finishing process is one of the most important steps to enable fabric functionalities, including hydrophobic and hydrophilic finishing, flame‐proof finishing, etc. Some of the work is based on nanofiber structure carried with functional nanoparticles.

Zohoori et al. introduced a durable photoactive nylon fabric by electrospinning polyamide‐6,6 nanofibers containing nanophotocatalysts onto a nylon fabric (Zohoori et al. 2014). The resultant fabric displayed excellent photoactivity toward dye degradation even after repeated washing because of the firm bonding of nanophotocatalyst and PA‐66 nanofibers. Wijesena et al. grafted nanofibers onto cotton fabric to improve the ability of moisture transport from the inner side to outer side of the fabric (Wijesena et al. 2014). This controllable moisture transport capability was realized by electrospinning high‐water absorbent chitin nanofibers onto one side of the cotton fabric, which formed wicking power.
