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

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

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

  5. What is Nanotechnology? • Nano is a Greek word meaning Dwarf or Small. • Nanotechnology is manipulating matter Atom by Atom, where measurements must be made in nanometers.

  6. What is a Nanometer? • A nanometer is one billionth of a meter, only three to five atoms wide. (0.000000001) • Nanometers are so small that 150 of them could fit across the width of a human hair.

  7. Why do we need Nanotechnology? • The goal of nanotechnology is to build tiny machines with extraordinary properties in all kinds of useful textiles, medical devices, and everyday tools.

  8. Attentive Listening Review • Looks Like……. • Sounds Like……. • Feels Like……….
