Importance of Nanotechnology in Textile Industry

Nanotechnology continues to grow as an interdisciplinary technology, and many people consider it the start of a new industrial revolution. This technology deals mainly in studying materials with 1-100 nanometers in length. It is fundamentally based on the fact that some materials have properties that change drastically when the dimensions are cut down to a […]

Electrospinning as a nanoscale technology of the twenty-first century

ELECTROSPINNING PROCESS Electrospinning is from the academic as well as technical perspective presently the most versatile technique for the preparation of continuous nanofibers obtained from numerous materials including polymers, metals, and ceramics.  Electrospinning is a physical process used for the formation of thin fibers in which a viscous liquid is subjected to electrical shear stress […]

Nano technology – Introduction, Definition, Market, Applications

When the diameter of the fibers is in the nanometer range, several amazing characteristics appear, such as the very large surface area to volume ratio, flexibility in surface functionalities, and superior mechanical performance (e.g., stiffness and tensile strength) compared with any other known form of material.

Nano Technology in Apparel Industry

Nanotechnology has ample potential to enhance the clothing we live, work and play in, but it is not without its drawbacks. From lightweight specialist high-endurance clothing to suits that don’t get wet in the rain, nano-enhanced clothing will become a more and more visible part of our lives in the future.

Nanotechnology Benefits in Fabric Formation

Nanometer (Nm) resins have been shown to modify fiber behavior in existing textile yarn. Incorporation of nanometer (Nm) resins in conventional warp size formulations improve weaving performance, improve fabric quality and reduce cost.
