Applications of Nanotechnology in Textile Industry

 

The interdisciplinary field of nanotechnology is expanding and is frequently viewed as the next industrial revolution. Materials with a length of 1–100 nm are the focus of nanotechnology. The principles of nanotechnology are based on how significantly materials' properties change when their dimensions are shrunk to the nanoscale range. These days, the nanotechnology prospects have also been explored by the textile sector.

Modern Applications in Textile Nanotechnology

Because it is thought to have enormous promise for a wide variety of end purposes, nanotechnology is gaining more and more attention on a global scale. Because to their enormous economic potential, the novel and distinctive features of nanomaterials have drawn not only scientists and academics but also corporations.

The textile sector has a lot of promise for commercial applications of nanotechnology. This is mostly because traditional techniques used to give materials varied qualities frequently don't produce long-lasting results and lose their functionalities after washing or usage. Since nanoparticles have a high surface energy and a big surface area-to-volume ratio, they have a better affinity for fabrics and can boost the function's longevity. Nanotechnology can provide high durability for fabrics. Nano-particle coatings on fabrics also have no impact on how they feel to the touch or how well they breathe.
