ays or various chemical effects
for people working in hazardous
occupations, especially in the
clothing of healthcare workers. In
recent years, thanks to the use of
nanotechnology and the development
of application methods
in this field, the use of nanotechnology
on daily clothes is also
seen. In addition to home textile
products, it is also possible to
talk about the use of masks with
nanotechnology in the production
of protective masks against
viruses today.
Today, the main usage areas of
textile products manufactured
with nanotechnology are:
It can be listed as Marine clothing
(swimsuits and beach towels),
Home and vehicle textiles, Sports
products, Construction and
agriculture sector, Health and
medical textile products, etc.
The most special products that
will change the understanding
of decorative and clothing that
are suitable for use not only for
professions but also for daily
life have begun to be developed
using nanotechnology.
Antibacterial fabric production
is possible
Nanotechnology fabrics, which
do not contain bacteria on the
surface of the fabric and manage
to fight bacteria on the surface
on which they are coated, have
an important place in the fight
and protection of epidemic
diseases that have increased
recently. For example, carpets
developed using nanotechnology
in home textiles, ensure the
rapid destruction of living bacteria,
thanks to the coating of the
surface layer with special nanomaterials.
Similarly, antibacterial
socks, which are also used in the
defense industry and developed
for special purposes, protect the
feet of people against fungi or
different types of bacteria and
prevent bad odors.
The use of clothes and masks
with antibacterial properties to
protect the health of healthcare
workers contributes to both the
protection of body health and
the prevention of the continued
existence of viruses and bacteria
on their clothes.
The usage area of antibacterial
fabrics developed using nanotechnology
has started to become
widespread day by day.
