Nanotechnology
is an evolving of interdisciplinary technology that has been growing in recent
decade in different area, includes nanotechnology in textiles industry. The
potential of nanotechnology in textiles has been recognized and it used widely
because of its unique properties.
The
nanotechnology in textiles focuses on refining the properties of textile
materials currently. The intensification of nanotechnology in textiles
contributes to the fabric’s surfaces treated with abrasion performance,
ultraviolet electromagnetic, water repellent and infrared protection finishes
that can be adapted by merging the nanoparticles with the chemical and organic
compounds. The clothing industry will revolutionize by the new method in
processing fabric of nanotechnology.
