Nanoengineered functional textiles

The realization of nanoengineered functional textiles, i.e. textile substrates treated by means of nanostructured materials with the objective of imparting them functional properties, is considered a new frontier in textile technology. Te application of nanostructured materials, in fact is potentially useful for the realization of advanced textiles that, keeping their original properties, such as their comfort and esthetical appearance, are characterized by a wide range of new properties, such as water/oil repellence, abrasion resistance, anti-wrinkle efect, UV protection, antibacterial properties, electrical conductivity.
