  1. Nanotechnology & “Smart Textiles” FACS - TLC

  2. What are some things that you don’t like about your clothes?

  3. Shrink Fade Stain Odor Color Too Big Too Small Too Hot Too Cold Wrinkles Possible Clothing Issues:

  4. All of these issues can be “fixed” through Nanotechnology!

  5. Applications of Nanotechnology include: • Stain/odor-free clothing & carpet • Bug-repellant clothing • Military uniforms that change color to match the environment • Light weight bullet-proof vests • Clothing that scans your body for a perfect fit • Etc....

  6. Nanotechnology: is a complex field combining science (biology, chemistry & physics), information technology (computer programming), engineering (electronics & design) and mathematics.

  7. Nanotechnology: "Nano" is a Greek word for small or dwarf. A nanometer is one billionth of a meter. Nanometers are so small that 150,000 of them fit across the width of a strand of human hair!

  8. Nanotechnology: Is not only being used for clothes, but in many different industries including medical, defense and aviation. Working in nanotechnology requires working with very small materials and devices.

  9. Team Activity • Read a nanotechnology article or view on-line video • Complete worksheet • Choose a team leader • Team leader present findings to class when instructed to do so by teacher

  10. Listening Skills Review • Look at, and listen to the speaker • No talking or doodling • Sit up straight • Nod for understanding

  11. Presentation Skills Review • Don’t cover your face with your paper • Stand still and straight • Speak clearly and loudly • Don’t rush, speak slowly • Don’t distract from the topic

  12. Individual Activity • Complete Nanotechnology Presentation Worksheet during team leader presentations

  13. Review Points • Nanotechnology is a new and growing field • Courses to take in jr. high and high school to prepare for a nanotechnology career include: • Science (biology, chemistry, physics) • Math • Information Technology (computer programming) • Health Sciences (biotechnology) • Technology (electronics, engineering & drafting)

  14. For more information on Nanotechnology see: ScienCentralNews

  15. Assignment: Make up a textile fiber characteristic that you would like to see on the market. Write an article about it like it is a new technological development.
