Abstract:
The use of nanomaterial and nanotechnology based processes is growing at a tremendous rate in all fields of science & technology. The use of nanotechnology in textile industry has increased rapidly due to its unique and valuable properties. Textile industry is also experiencing the benefits of nanotechnology in its diverse field of application. Nanotechnology has versatile applications in Textile chemical industry in manufacturing garments with stem resistance, wrinkle resistance, finishes, antibacterial qualities, UV protection etc. The future success of nanotechnology in textile application lies in area where new principles will be combined into durable, multifunctional textile systems without compromising the inherent textile properties.
