Use of nanotechnology in the textile industry has increased rapidly due to its unique and valuable properties. If the criterion is to produce very minute particle size fibres and materials, the nano technology is the only way to achieve the same. The present paper highlights the applications of nanotechnology in textile industries, with an emphasis on improving various properties of textiles.

Abstract


Use of nanotechnology in the textile industry has increased rapidly due to its unique and valuable properties. If the criterion is to produce very minute particle size fibres and materials, the nano technology is the only way to achieve the same. The present paper highlights the applications of nanotechnology in textile industries, with an emphasis on improving various properties of textiles.
