Nanotechnology in Textiles & Clothing

Nanotechnology in Textiles & Clothing 

Nano-textiles is an emerging and interesting application of nanotechnology. It involves dealing with nano fibers at the atomic and molecular levels in order to tweak their properties. This novel technology can give rise to incredible clothing such as water-resistant and dirt-free clothes, odor-less socks, and intelligent clothes that can perfom climate control for you.

Nano style
Nano is used in textiles mainly to provide stain-resistance or anti-bacterial properties. Some clothes made from these textiles can now be purchased in high-street shops, usually with these properties described on the tags attached, though  they may not mention the words nano or nanotechnologies.

Stain-resistant fabrics
If you spill something, even something as drastic as red wine, down the front of your nano-enhanced shirt or suit, all you  have to do is wipe it off with a dry cloth and it looks like new. This is often called The Lotus Effect

What is the 'Lotus Effect'?

The leaves of a lotus plant actually repel water and other liquids, even glues. They are structured so that when it rains, little beads of water form on the plant’s leaves and instead of spreading out, they just roll off.
The plant does this using its own nanotechnology. Basically, nano-sized hairs combine with the wax coating of the leaf to  make the water droplets sit up on the surface without dispersing onto the leaf’s surface below.
This doesn’t just happen with lotus leaves. A similar process works for some insects, the wings of butterflies and the  proverbial ‘water off a duck’s back’. Whenever a textile, or other product like glass or paint, repels water in this way,  it is referred to as the Lotus Effect.

The 'Lotus Effect' in fabrics

Nano coatings (such as Teflon-like substances) are created and bond with the textile, so that little nano-sized molecular hooks attach to the fabric of the garment and the hair-like structures repel the water like the lotus leaf. But because  these are nano-sized they don’t make the fabric stiff, so keeping the softness of whatever is coated.
