Can ceramic fibers be used in clothing and textiles?

Yes, ceramic fibers can be used in clothing and textiles. They are known for their heat resistance, thermal insulation, and flame retardancy, making them suitable for high-temperature work environments and protective clothing. These fibers are also used in sportswear for their moisture-wicking and temperature-regulating properties. However, they are not as common in everyday clothing due to their cost and the challenges in processing them into soft, comfortable fabrics.
