Haghi A.K., Zaikov G.E. (Eds.) Development of Nanotechnology in Textiles

Nova Science Publisher's, New York, 2012. — 180 p. — ISBN: 9781620810521, 1620810522.Nanotechnology Science and Technology.The textile industry is an early adopter of new ideas and technologies. Textiles are not only for the fashion conscious, they have important.
applications in the aerospace, automotive, construction, healthcare and sportswear industries. Already on the market are socks and leisurewear with embedded silver nanoparticles that combat odor through killing bacteria – and this capability has been extended successfully to wound dressings.
Across the globe, a tremendous amount of research is taking place in electrospinning techniques. The spun, polymer-based nanofibres can be.
'loaded' with different additives which could be nanoparticles, enzymes, drugs or catalysts. Some combinations can be antibacterial and sprayed onto wounds as a kind of healing 'web', others can be conductive or even form filters or membranes.Scientists are also working on nanoelectronic devices that can be embedded into textiles to provide special support systems for individuals in.
dangerous professions or sports. Some garments can now provide life-signs monitoring, internal temperature monitoring, chemical sensing and also power generation and storage to enable communication with the outside world, colleagues, or even for skiers or their rescuers to give early warning signs of hypothermia.Nanotechnology is, broadly speaking, the science of manipulating and rearranging individual atoms and molecules to create useful materials. "Nano" textiles are those designed and engineered on the nanoscale to create specific functions. These nano functions are very diverse and range from UV protection and antibacterial functions to moisture management.
