  12. Market for Textile Industry • Nanometer particles application • Smart Fabric • E-Textiles • Wearable Electronic 2007 US$ 13,600,000,000.00(13.6 billion) 2012 US$1,15,000,000,000.00(115 billion) Source : http://www.cientifica.eu/

  13. What is NANO ? • NANO –“nanos” in Greek means “Dwarf”, a size scale (One billionth) • NANOMETER– One billionth of a meter

  14. What is Nanotechnology ? • NANOTECHNOLOGY - Professor Norio Taniguchi of Tokyo Science University coined this term in 1974. • The design, characterization, production and application of structures, devices and systems by controlling shape and size at nanometer scale

  15. “There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom” - Richard P. Feynman (1918 - 1988) Source :http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Feynman

  16. Wide Range of Targeted Textile Products Apparel fabric Cotton Linen Nylon Rayon Polyester Upholster Wool Garments Casual Wear Sports Wear Kid's wear Woollen Uniforms • Home Furnishings • Pillows • Bed Linens • Sofa cushions • Curtains • Carpets • Public • Public transit seats cushions • Restaurants table linens • Toys • Stuff toys

  17. Functions :Application with Nanometer material on Fibre, Fabric and Garments • Liquid Repellence • Oil and Stain Resistance • Wrinkle Free • UV-Protection • Antibacterial • Flame Retardant • Odor Elimination • Quick drying • Mosquito Repellence and more…

  27. Nano-encapsulated Mosquito Repellent Particles image under SEM

  28. Advantages 1. Protection to human life Anti-bacterial, Anti-Mosquito functions, UV protection 2. Apply on existing equipments Padding, curing machine in Dyeing and Printing factory Washing, drying machine in Garment washing factory 3. Environmentally friendly Most of the nanometer materials are non-toxic and bio-degradable 4. Minimizing the usage of chemistries Detergent 5. Retain fabric softness and breathability

  29. Application on Fabric – Padding machine

  30. Padding process

  31. Drying process

  32. Application of Garment - Washing equipment

  33. Washer

  34. Tumble Drying process

  35. Curing Oven

  36. Nano-Particles are bonded directly to the fiber surface the textiles gain special characteristics as: Fabric retains breathable properties Enhanced comfort and better hand-feel Breathable Properties & Better Hand-Feel Nano particles bonded on fiber under SEM

  37. There are 2 classes of Savings: Direct Savings of Resources Indirect Savings of Resources as: Shorten the washing time (less energy and water consumption) Fewer number of washings for a given time (less energy, water and detergent consumption) Low water temperature for washing (smaller energy consumption) Green Technology for the Earth’s Resources U care W care about our Earth

  38. Conclusions • High Tensile Strength • High Durability • Long Lasting Results • Physically Stable • Wide Range of Applications • Multifunctional Characteristics • Simple & Quick Application • Chemically Reactive With Free Radicals • Self Cleaning & Antibacterial • Green Technology Hydrophobic materials, Liquid Repellency • Superconducting Properties • Smart Fabrics • E-Textiles • Wearable Electronics
