The work aims to summarize the application status of graphene oxide (GO) and its composites in antibacterial textile packaging materials and provide reference for the application of GO and its composites in textile field. The properties, structural characteristics and antibacterial mechanism of GO were summed up. Then, the application of GO in textile materials such as composites, composite fibers and composite fabrics was expounded, and the factors influencing the antibacterial properties and biosafety of GO were briefly discussed. The results showed that, GO had two-dimensional nanostructure, excellent specific surface area and water solubility. The application of GO and its composites in textile packaging materials could improve its antibacterial properties. Currently, the application of the antibacterial properties of GO was still in the initial stage, which needed to be further studied. With the continuous deepening of the research on GO, GO will be more and more widely used in antibacterial textile packaging materials.
