New fibers with increased strength and rich functionalities have been untiringly pursued by materials researchers. In recent years, graphene fiber has arisen as a new carbonaceous high expectations in terms of mechanical functional performance. this review, we elucidated the concept sprouted fibers, including strategies for their fabrication basic structural attributes. We examine rapid advances promotion mechanical/functional properties summarize versatile applications multifunctional textiles. Finally, tentative prospect is presented. hope review will lead to further work on species.
