Nanomaterials
- Fabrics
made from
NANOFIBRES
- Often made
from carbon
or synthetic
polymers
- Very very thin & light
- Very strong
- Made into
Non Woven
sheets
- Potential
applications:
Lightweight
bullet proof
vests
- Often made
from carbon
or synthetic
polymers
- Fabrics made from
regular fibres that
have been modified
using
NANOTECHNOLOGY
- Existing fibres
& fabric can be
modified to give
new properties
- Thin layers of
nanoparticles can
be attached to
common fibres &
fabrics.
- Super thin &
don't change
the feel of the
fabric
- Nanoparticles can be
used to coat fabrics
that will then resist &
break down dirt and
stains
- Super thin &
don't change
the feel of the
fabric
- Currently
used to create
antibacterial
fabrics using
nanoparticles
