Abstract
Nanotechnology is one of the prominent areas for research studies in developing super functional materials like fabrics with self-cleaning, UV-protection, antimicrobial, antistatic, soil and stain repellent, water repellent, and fire retardant. The chapter commences with a preface to the classification of nanofinishing on textiles, and then on to the different techniques for application, including the nanoparticles and nanolayers. Later it explains the production of various nanofinishing, namely, Lotus effect/self-cleaning textile materials, nano photocatalysts, water repellent/waterproof fabrics, that are designed to reduce the surface energy through nanostructures and nano surface. The UV-protective textiles by application of TiO2 and ZnO as nanoparticles, durable antimicrobial derivatives from nanosilver, and fire retardant from various nanostructured chemicals are addressed in this chapter. It is irony that nanofinishing in textiles has made a big revolution in the world market for technical textiles, for its potentiality in creating high performance and specialty clothing. The current and future innovations are focused on sustainability and high-performance materials for which nanotechnology is the solution.
