Nanotechnology applications to textiles

Nanotechnology has been used to integrate tiny carbon particles membrane to have textiles protect from electrostatic charges, water and stain-repellent or wrinkle-free that can be washed less frequently and at lower temperatures. Nanocameras mixed with nanodisplays could be used to create an "invisibility coat" for military application. Hydrophobic relation on a fabric will create much needed relief to the user not only in having easy-to-clean effect but also an environment friendly situation. Some of the nano products are water based, ultra thin, transparent particle free nano layer coating for textiles. They use molecular bonding to form a super-phobic coating. Thus the ecologically sound layer is undetectable and allows the substrate to 'breath' naturally and contain no VOC (volatile organic compounds). They protect and preserve the fabric without altering the natural texture or color. Water runs off easily from the treated surface and dirt particles are washed off. Results indicate that the nano products are ideal for cotton, cotton blends, silk, jute, linen, felt, wool blends, polyester blend etc. etc. Some of the applications on fabric are:
• Non-toxic & environmentally friendly
• Breathable
• Flexible & soft
• Water and dirt repellent
• Stain, weather & friction resistant
