The role of nanotechnology in textile is also well-known. It is believed that nanotechnology is going to revolutionize the textile industry providing any kinds textile with unique characteristics such as hydrophobicity and hydrophilicity, anti-static properties, wrinkle resistance, strength enhancement, anti-UV, antimicrobial and anti-odor properties, etc. In other words, applying nanotechnology in common processes in textile industry including fiber preparation, finishing and coloring may result in a development in textile functionality.

However, up to now, most of commercialized projects regarding the use of nanotechnology in textile are confined to coating and spraying which do not provide long-lasting effects. Here, in our company, we have been carrying out extensive research in this area to find ways that lead to long-lasting effects. Our projects in this area are as follows:

Finished Projects:

• Production of antibacterial carpet, towels and underwear clothes.

Ongoing Projects:

• Hydrophobic and anti-stain textile with high longevity.
• Perfume encapsulated textiles using nanocapsules.
• Fire retardant textiles.
