4. History of Nanotechnology
Most fiber technology evolves to meet the needs of the consumer.
History of clothing and its uses.

5. What is Nanotechnology?
Nanotechnology is a very complex field combining science, technology, engineering, and math.
A nanometer is one billionth of a meter. Nanometers are so small that 150,000 of them fit across the width of a strand of human hair.

6. How is Nanotechnology used in textiles?
Nano Enhancements:
Spills roll off and stains wash out
Odors lock in and wash out
Eliminates Static
Many of these are used in your clothing your wearing today!

7. How is it done? Embedded into liquid polymers
Applied to fabric surface in finishing
Particles are permanently attached
