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.

# Nano Pet Products
Dog Gone Smart is proud to introduce nanotechnology to the pet industry. We have developed the most technologically advanced dog apparel on the market. Dog Gone Smart Technology uses the performance fabric finish NanoSphere and a state-of-the-art bacteriostatic. These newly designed jackets stay clean naturally, reduce the spread of bacteria and stand up to the wear and tear of the most active dog. These fabrics are non-toxic, pet safe and environmentally friendly. The NanoSphere finish even carries the label bluesign approved. All-Season Wheat Barn Jackets have 100% cotton canvas shells, brass buttons, leather collar and pocket detail, and lightweight plaid lining. NanoSphere fabrics repel liquids, dirt, coat oils and stains so these jackets stay clean naturally! This fabric finish is now being used by some of the world's leading outdoor sportswear brands. The NanoSphere treatment makes the fabrics highly abrasion resistant, making the jackets much more durable. Dog Gone Smart Technology reduces the spread of bacteria which can cause "doggie" odor as well as bacterial infections and allergies, creating a healthier environment for your dog. The dog's skin flora is not negatively affected.
