Abstract

Nanotechnology has become one of the most important areas of research. Nanotechnology holds a very promising future for clothing. The development of functional finishings based on nanotechnology has endless possibilities. Nanotechnology is used in clothing to enhance fabric properties, comfort, function and sustainability. Nanomaterials are nowadays increasingly used in various applications ranging from sports and healthcare to aerospace and fashion.
Nanomaterials, such as nanoparticles, nanofibers and nanocomposites embedded in clothing, provide significant improvements in the quality of clothing products. The unique properties of nanotechnology have led to its rapid expansion in the clothing industry. It contributed to the production of high-performance and sustainable clothing. Nanotechnology has been used to impart many desirable properties to clothing such as antibacterial, water resistance, self-cleaning, wrinkle resistance, and other applications.
This study aims to find ways to benefit from nanotechnology to improve the functional performance of clothing and make it more sustainable.
The study concluded that nanotechnology in the field of clothing and its various applications demonstrate the enormous potential of nanomaterials in enhancing the functional properties of fabrics and clothing. The use of natural materials in preparing nano clothes enhances environmental friendliness, which is an important dimension of sustainability.
The noticeable improvement in properties makes nano-preparations for clothing more economically viable, which is another dimension of sustainability.
By exploring the enormous potential of nanotechnology to enhance clothing properties and sustainability, it can serve as a valuable resource for researchers and inspire further research, innovation and future development of advanced textile products.
