Nanotechnology & “Smart Textiles”

What are some things that you don’t like about your

clothes?

Possible Clothing Issues:

Shrink

Fade

Stain

Odor

Color

Too Big

Too Small

Too Hot

Too Cold

Wrinkles

All of these issues can be “fixed” through

Nanotechnology!

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.

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.

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.
