When a shaft of seemingly ordinary dark gray yarn is gently pressed with a finger for a few seconds and removed, the position on the ball of yarn changes from dark gray to a clear light gray.


In the case of no electricity, with an ordinary spherical bulb with the bottom of the light touch a axis of yarn, the bulb is instantly lit up, emit bright light. ...


This is the "China Textile News" reporter personally felt the magic of nanotechnology to textiles.


"Materials exhibit completely different properties at the nanoscale than they do at the macroscopic state. This property of nanotechnology gives textile materials new and unique functions, driving innovation and development in the textile industry." Zhang Chuanxiong, director of the science and technology Development Department of the China Textile Industry Federation, told reporters that in recent years, with the continuous improvement of the preparation technology of nanomaterials and the increasing variety of functional nanoparticles, the figure of nano textiles has been everywhere, from antibacterial protection to medical rehabilitation, from electromagnetic protection to flame retardant tools, from dust filtration to sewage purification, from green energy to military defense... Nanotechnology and nanomaterials are opening up a broad space for the high-end, intelligent, green and integrated development of the industrial textile industry.

Have you ever seen a doll you can chew on? The "Huaxiaomeng doll", jointly developed by the Faculty of Materials and Chemistry and Chemical Engineering of Soochow University and Shaanxi Ambeth Toy Technology Co., LTD., is made of antibacterial and antiviral nanogenetic fiber. It is soft in texture, comfortable in the hand, sterile in itself, bactericidal, and completely free of chemical substances. With this doll with its own disinfection function, parents no longer have to worry about children "gnawing" bacteria into the stomach.


In recent years, with the blending of organic, inorganic, heterocyclic and other nano-antibacterial particles with various resin masterbatch, the forming and processing technology of nano-fiber with controllable function is becoming more and more mature, and the development and application of nano-textile products are becoming more and more extensive. For example, the addition of copper ion antibacterial PP, PA inorganic nanoparticles, organic antibacterial PP, PE, PA, PLA nano functional materials of all kinds of modified antibacterial masterbatch and fiber, as well as can effectively inhibit the growth of Escherichia coli, staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus albacea antibacterial, anti-mildew, antibacterial deodorization, antiviral and other textiles have gradually become the mainstream of the market.
