Detailed explanation-1: -Making clothing and fabric with nanoparticles or nanofibers allows the improvement of fabric properties without a significant increase in weight, thickness, or stiffness. For example, incorporating nano-whiskers into fabric used to make pants produces a lightweight water-and stain-repellent material.
Detailed explanation-2: -There are four main types of intentionally produced nanomaterials: carbon-based, metal-based, dendrimers, and nanocomposites.
Detailed explanation-3: -Nanotechnology can provide high durability forfabrics, because nano-particles have a large surface area-to-volume ratio andhigh surface energy, thus presenting better affinity for fabrics and leading toan increase in durability of the function.
Detailed explanation-4: -Electronics. Carbon nanotubes are close to replacing silicon as a material for making smaller, faster and more efficient microchips and devices, as well as lighter, more conductive and stronger quantum nanowires. Energy. Biomedicine. Environment. Food. Textile.
