Abstract:

This paper discuss about the invention of nano fabrics in the field of textile engineering. Nano technology plays a big role in the industrial revolution. It deals with the materials of length 1 to 100 nm. The nano fabrics are made up of nano scopic fibres. In this paper we have analyzed the physical, chemical and biological properties of materials and it is modified to develop the new materials with some new inventions which lead to the characteristic improvisation such as soft hand, durability, water repellency, unique surface structure, fire retradancy and self cleaning properties.

Keywords:

nano silvers, nano whiskers, fiber, fabrics, anti microbial, antibacterial.
